'i Can't Put All The Pressure On His Shoulders', But Jake White Thrilled With Johan Goosen's Bulls Challenge Cup Comeback

Despite being out of action for nearly three months with yet another knee injury, Johan Goosen is still rated very highly by Bulls coach Jake White.

The 32-year-old flyhalf will make his long-awaited return to action in Saturdays Challenge Cup last-16 playoff against Bayonne in France 1.30pm kick-off, and its not a moment too soon for White.

Goosen will play off the bench, though, as Keagan Johannes has been entrusted with the No 10 jersey for the third week in a row, following his Player-of-the-Match performance in the 63-24 walloping of Zebre last week.

The two playmakers have different strengths, with Johannes composure, strong kicking game, brave tackling and wide array of skills providing much-needed clarity for the Bulls attack after Willie le Rouxs hit-and-miss displays as a pivot before his shoulder operation.

Goosen, on the other hand, is a bit of a mix of Johannes and Le Roux big boot, looking for space out wide and possessing a bit of magic, but also prone to the odd big mistake or shaky defence.
