As the last remaining South African team in the European showpiece, all eyes will be on the Bulls in their upcoming quarter-final as they look to continue flying the SA flag and keep the Challenge Cup trophy in SA after the Sharks won the title last season.

Bulls coach Jake White has made no secret of the fact that they are targeting this trophy, and will be putting plenty of effort and resources into the final stages of the competition as they next face Edinburgh in the quarter-finals on Saturday.

Kick off is at 13:30 SA time.

The Bulls may be playing away in Scotland, but they will face a familiar foe in Edinburgh, who they cross paths with annually in the United Rugby Championship.

With the men from Pretoria coming off four successive victories in the URC and Challenge Cup – where they defeated Bayonne 32-22 in France in the Round of 16 last weekend – and they will enter the clash with confidence.

Fuelling their motivation, the Bulls pulled off a 22-16 victory against Edinburgh in Pretoria in their opening URC game this season, while they have shown on a few occasions that they have what it takes to win abroad.
