Jacques Nienaber expected for Leinster against bulls: Planet Rugby “Test-Match intensity”

The senior coach of Leinster, Jacques Nienaber, prepares his troops for a massive challenge against the bulls in their United Rugby Championship (URC) collus in Pretoria.

The Irish province comes into this highly expected encounter at the top of the URC rating with 57 points from 12 games, which were played with defending Champions Glasgow Warriors and Bullen in the second or third positions on a whopping 13- and 16 -point drawings.

Thanks to her outstanding URC form, in which you won all twelve played games in competition, but Nienaber knows that his team has to be against a bulls team that rarely plays badly on their hometown.

The Table topper of the URC consolidated its position on the summit with a 42:24 win against Cardiff in the early this month.

Bad record in South Africa

In the past, Leinster did not set up their strongest teams when visiting South Africa and they only won one of seven games in the country.

Leinster are not sure who is available for the collision on Saturday, although Nienaber said that at the end of the week, they should know which this player can choose which they can choose which players.

If these test stars are not available, Leinster will be at risk of suffering their first URC defeat against the bulls-the first of a two-game tour in South Africa with the sharks, which are fourth on the table and are still waiting.

“It will be a proper friendly for us,” said Nienaber. “It is a nice challenge for everyone who will take part in these two games.”

Although the bulls are without some injured players, Nienaber expects that Leinster is facing a strict challenge at Loftus Versfeld this weekend.

“If you watch the Jake squad [White] I mean, I mean, it's a complete international squad that lifts one or two positions, ”he said.

“I expect a game with test match intensity”

“And these one or two positions are not wide on the radar of international selectors.

Nienaber, who came to Leinster shortly after the leadership of the Springboks during their victorious World Cup in France, believes that all four South African teams are good enough to qualify for the URC play-offs.

Apart from the fact that the bulls and sharks are among the leaders of the tournament, the Lions are currently in ninth position with 29 points, while the Stormers only run away in the 12th place.

“I expect all four of these teams to take part in the top eight,” added the 52-year-old. “At the moment it looks like they are on the right track.”
