White Warns Bulls Against Over-reliance On Scrums And Mauls

Jake White has warned his Bulls team of becoming over-reliant on their dominance in scrums and mauls to win matches.

The frustrated mentor was speaking after their shock 29-19 defeat against a depleted Sharks team in Saturday nights United Rugby Championship derby at Loftus Versfeld.

We did everything old school Bulls well. We scrummed, we mauled them to pieces, White said.

We cant be just known as a team that scrums and mauls everybody and then not get a result. Thatll be my message on Monday.

I just dont want us to be a team that goes into our shells and we always think were going to have scrum penalties and maul penalties and win the game. Because the rest of the game today was the part that let us down.
