A massive opportunity beckons for the Bulls in the Challenge Cup on Saturday as they stake a claim for a semi-final spot after booking their quarter-final berth against Edinburgh at the Hive Stadium in the Scottish capital.

Kick off is at 13:30 SA time.

Jake White’s charges will brace themselves for a challenging encounter against the Scots, who are fresh off two victories against the Dragons and Lions respectively, and who have only suffered two defeats at home across both competitions this season.

Adding to that this, they boast a better attacking record in the EPCR Challenge Cup than the Bulls, who qualified for the Round of 16 through the Champions Cup, which will boost their confidence.

With Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt working with Jake White at the Bulls before he left for the Scottish capital before the start of the 2023/23 season, and with everything to gain for both teams, an epic battle is on the cards.
