Bulls flanker Marco van Staden is eyeing Springbok captain Siya Kolisi’s No.6 jumper.
With his performances for the log-leading Bulls in this year’s Super Rugby Unlocked tournament, the three-cap 25-year-old is making a big case for a return in the Green and Gold.
Bulls coach Jake White says of his fetcher: “He’s been probably the most consistent player for us this season. He’s always a threat – he carries well, his breakdown skills are phenomenal.
“I think what’s happened is that he’s got a lot of one-on-ones with the breakdown coach, Nollis Marais, and what’s really happening is that he is making such great calls as a defensive jackal as well.
“It’s not just going into every single breakdown. The way that he understands the role and understands the timing of what he does – whether he goes in, or folds around the corner and waits for the next breakdown."
