Bulls Must Be Switched On For Every Sharks Scrum, Warns Gerhard Steenekamp

Despite dominating the Stormers in the scrums, the Bulls are not getting carried away and are wary of the Sharks pack in Saturdays United Rugby Championship showdown in Pretoria 5pm start.

The starting front row of Jan-Hendrik Wessels, Johan Grobbelaar and Wilco Louw won a few early penalties in the set-piece, and they continued the onslaught when another Springbok in Gerhard Steenekamp replaced Wessels in the 26th minute.

Louw in particular made it a tough afternoon for Stormers No 1 Sti Sithole, but Steenekamp also largely got the edge over Bok stalwart Frans Malherbe.

I think it was a good performance, Steenekamp said in a typically understated fashion this week.

I still think there are a few things that we can be better at. But as a forward pack, we scrummed very well at the weekend.
