Bulls vs Edinburgh Preview


The Bulls have just had a good Currie Cup campaign so their confidence will be high. While the hosts are missing key international players, I think they can cover against the Scottish visitors.

  • Edinburgh lost their last match at home.
  • Edinburgh beat the Bulls last season.

Head to Head


Last season Edinburgh defeated the Bulls 31-23 in Scotland.

Bulls Form


The Bulls will still be smarting from their URC final defeat to Glasgow on home soil last season. It was the second time in three seasons that the Bulls made the URC final, but they lost on both occasions.

During the recently completed Currie Cup season, the Bulls finished second on the table but lost to the Sharks a fortnight ago in an epic semi-final. This season, the Bulls will be hoping for their first ever title, but they cannot afford to slip up at home in games like this.

Bulls Injuries & Team News


Canan Moodie has been released from the Springboks and is available for selection. Naturally, the Bulls are without their other international players until next weekend.

Edinburgh Form


Edinburgh missed out on a playoff spot last season by a singular point. This season the minimum target will surely be a top eight finish.

Last week, in round one, Edinburgh went down 33-31 at home to Leinster. It was a game the Scottish outfit should have won, although losing to Leinster is no disgrace.

Considering the travel to South Africa, it is very likely that Edinburgh will make a few changes to their side.

Verdict

The Bulls are backed to star their season with a win against Edinburgh by more than nine points.
