Nizaam Carr Keen To Drive Bulls Bench Against Table-topping Leinster

Nizaam Carr has been one of the stand-out performers for the Bulls in recent months, but he accepts that he might not feature as much now that Cameron Hanekom is set to return from injury.

But the 33-year-old No 8 who has five Springbok Test caps to his name knows that he can still add real value in the closing stages of a tight game.

Saturdays massive United Rugby Championship clash against Irish giants Leinster at Loftus Versfeld 5pm kick-off is sure to be another hard-fought encounter, and Carrs experience and leadership may be needed to guide the Bulls home.

Young Bok upstart Hanekom was scheduled to return to training this week from knee and calf issues, and while the Bulls have yet to officially announce his availability this week, he is sure to don the No 8 jersey in Pretoria on Saturday.

But Carrs steadying presence will be vital to help the Bulls hit back in the URC following their 19-16 defeat to the Stormers on March 1.
