When I was a kid my brother played rugby and I kind of followed him in the last few years of junior rugby in New Zealand. I started playing at around ten years of age and did that for a few years. Then I played a bit of rugby league and just gave it up. Rugby is the staple sport in New Zealand. My club is East Coast Bays I have some lineage and go back a fair way with the club and played senior rugby there before I went on to higher honours and professional rugby. I used to play hooker and in the front row back then.

FOUNDED 1997 CAPTAIN MARCELL COETZEE DIRECTOR OF RUGBY JACK WHITE GROUNDS LOFTUS VERSFELD STADIUM CURRENT FORM W W L W W
VODACOM BULLS Our South African opponents this evening currently sit in 6th place in the URC after picking up 10 wins in the league this season. They’re third in the South African Shield just three points behind the DHL Stormers in second and Cell C Sharks in first who both sit on 56 points leaving tonight’s match with everything to play for.
RADAR MARCELL COETZEE The Vodacom Bulls Captain has had an impressive season so far since returning to his home country of South Africa. The flanker has 9 tries to his name making him the Bulls top try-scorer. As well as his impressive stats in attack his defensive numbers also make for good reading with 156 tackles and 12 turnovers to date on the list. The 31-year-old was named Player’s Player of the Season in the PRO14 at the end of the 20/21 season whilst he played for Ulster. He also has 30 caps for the Springboks under his belt.
KURT-LEE ARENDSE The Vodacom Bulls fullback Kurt-Lee Arendse is a player for the Springboks Sevens squad and immediately made an impact for the Bulls since joining back in 2020. He has gained 991 metres this season for the side and made 21 clean breaks topping the league in both categories.
MADOSH TAMBWE
The 25-year old wing joined the Vodacom Bulls at the start of the 20/21 season. He has represented the Emirates Lions and the Cell C Sharks before moving to the Bulls. He once scored four tries in a single Vodacom Super Rugby match. So far this season he has beaten 42 defenders, sitting in third place in the league.

We’re delighted to be joined by some of our fantastic volunteers at tonight’s game.A vital part of the programme are our volunteers who give up their valuable time to help us run our sessions, so we’d like to take the opportunity to thank them for everything they do. Take a look at how they help us on Sporting Memories programme and see how the programme works to engage with older, socially isolated members of our community to share memories, re-connect and improve / maintain their physical and mental health. #MoreThanRugby
