Willie, Eskom back for Bulls
Springbok flank Marco van Staden and fullback Willie le Roux return for the Vodacom Bulls' match against Glasgow at Scotstoun Stadium tonight.
Le Roux has been named on the bench having recovered from a shoulder injury that required surgery, while Van Staden starts at No 8 in place of Cameron Hanekom (who is not match fit) after missing last week's win against Muster due to the birth of his child.
Captain Ruan Nortje moves from the second row to blindside flank with Jannes Kirsten shifting to openside and Marcell Coetzee dropping down to the bench. JF van Heerden regains the No 5 jersey.
Johann Grobbelaar starts at hooker ahead of Akker van der Merwe, while former Junior Boks loose forward Jaco Grobler is set to make his United Rugby Championship (URC) debut as a substitute.
The only change to the backline sees wingers Canan Moodie and Sebastian de Klerk swap jerseys.
The Bulls are currently third on the URC log, four points behind second-placed Glasgow.

High work-rate vital for Bulls to stop up-tempo Leinster in their tracks in URC final, says Marcell Coetzee
Ashfak Mohamed | Published 2 hours ago The Bulls opened the scoring in both their previous United Rugby Championship finals and lost. So, perhaps the Pretoria side should let Leinster grab the early lead in Saturday's title decider at Croke Park in Dublin (6pm SA time kick-off) if they want to enjoy a case of third time lucky. But having endured the heartache of two defeats, such experiences would have given them the necessary knowledge to handle a similar situation against Leinster this weekend. Perhaps being written off by everyone outside Pretoria may also spur on Jake White's team. But while emotion – Cornal Hendricks' passing will also inspire the Bulls – has a place in a final, it is also about ensuring that you heed the lessons from the past. So, the visitors cannot afford to let an early lead slip this time, or concede yellow cards, like they did in the semi-final win over the Sharks last week. 'I think if I take that first final (18-13 defeat against the Stormers), think we scored off the bat probably like three, four minutes in the game,' loose forward Marcell Coetzee said from Dublin on Wednesday. 'So, we had a good start in the game and we were going well at first, but it just showed you (that) you can't rely on those moments. 'I thought we just might have missed the kicking game in that second half particularly. And that's how we let the Stormers in that day. They used the opportunities. We had a man down in the bin as well. 'And then the second game (last year's 21-16 loss to Glasgow), again great start, and we built on that. But you can't let the opposition in. That's what I meant by soft moments. 'You can't let them really in, and then let them get the ascendancy and momentum. 'It's going to come down to moments, and how we manage it and how calm and collected in control we are. It's all about managing that. 'That comes with experience, and I think over the course of the seasons, that's really been very beneficial for our team.' Coetzee may be asked to pack down at No 8 in the absence of the injured Cameron Hanekom on Saturday, and it shouldn't be an issue for the 34-year-old to fulfil. His energetic ball-carries and high work-rate on defence will be vital if the Bulls hope to stop the relentless Leinster attack. The Irish giants love to stretch the opposition defence early on, and the South Africans will have to be wide awake to prevent conceding points in the opening quarter. At the same time, they need to impose themselves on proceedings as well and force Leinster to make a lot of tackles too. That's where Coetzee, Cobus Wiese and Jan-Hendrik Wessels need to front up with ball-in-hand to create holes for dangerous backs such as David Kriel and Canan Moodie. 'That's the uniqueness about the Leinster team. When they get it right on the day, they can really light it up. That's part of our job,' Coetzee said. 'We need to nullify it as best as possible by certain things we identified. Look, I think there's a time and a place for everything. 'It's all about playing in the right areas. 'There will be times where we want to make the game quick and controlled and tempo, but there's also times to settle it and see where we can go from here, being composed and having good management on the day. 'Playing against a quality side like Leinster, you can't afford to have one guy or two guys in the bin. 'You need all the feet on the pitch, and it's going to take a work-rate to stop their onslaught. 'You don't want to let the guy next to you down by being reckless and stuff. 'That and soft moments we need to cut out in our game, and just building on our DNA that's been working for us this whole season.'

Rulani Mokwena: Why I left Wydad
Former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena has revealed the real reasons behind his departure from Wydad. Mokwena joined Wydad at the start of the 2024-25 season following his dismissal from the Brazilians. He had signed a two-year deal which would have officially ended in 2026 but his stint was cut short. Towards the end of his departure, reports surfaced that Mokwena had not been paid for eight months, and he confirmed they were true. But while very few individuals can survive without a salary, the 38-year-old revealed that's not why he left Wydad because football for him is not about money. He is also of the view that results had nothing to do with his departure given that Wydad were sitting third on the log. That despite bringing in almost 30 new players to try and awaken this sleeping giant of African football. However, Mokwena believes a combination of issues from both sides led to his departure after they felt the relationship wasn't working. Furthermore, he believes the presence of his agent Steve Kapeluschnik in Morocco when the story of his unpaid salaries broke didn't help the situation. Rulani Mokwena signed with Wydad in 2024.

Percy Tau makes shock Orlando Pirates admission
Bafana winger Percy Tau is a free agent after leaving Qatar SC. New developments see him linked with Kaizer Chiefs or Orlando Pirates. 31-year-old Tau is expected to return to the PSL. Former club Sundowns are also in the frame to seal his signature. Former Sundowns, Brighton and Anderlecht winger could be in line for a return to South African football. 'I'd listen to anybody, let's not rule out Orlando Pirates, or even Stellenbosch, SuperSport (United). I'll not rule out anyone. My decision will be based on who gives me a contract. Of course, Sundowns still has my love, but then it will be based on who gives me a contract because at the end of the day, I still have to support my family. So just because I love the club, it doesn't mean I'll stick around for any offer,' said Tau. According to reports, Pirates have approached SuperSport United to sign teenager Neo Rapoo. Born in 2005, the Matsatsantsa star can operate in both full-back positions. Click for the story Orlando Pirates find their replacement for Monnapule Saleng? Will the Chiefs slayer return?
