  • Following a third consecutive Champions Cup loss, the Bulls are effectively out of the running for European rugby's most prestigious silverware.

Jake White, the director of rugby for the Bulls, has shifted his team's focus to the United Rugby Championship (URC) following their disappointing exit from the Champions Cup. The Bulls were knocked out in the round of 16 by Lyon, a match where they struggled with discipline and execution. Despite the setback, White remains optimistic, emphasizing the importance of learning from their mistakes and moving forward. He highlighted the need for better discipline and fewer penalties, which were critical in their recent defeat. With the URC now the primary target, White is rallying his squad to regroup and perform, especially with upcoming matches against teams like the Dragons and Leinster, aiming to secure a strong finish in the league standings.
