Vodacom Bulls United Rugby Championship campaign

Overview

The Vodacom Bulls began their United Rugby Championship campaign with an away match against Zebre at Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi. Head coach Johan Ackermann selected a 26-man squad featuring veteran players like Willie le Roux and captain Marcell Coetzee, aiming to establish early momentum to secure a top-four position.

The Bulls secured a 47-13 victory in their season opener. Although Zebre initially led through a penalty by Tommaso Allan, the momentum shifted following a yellow card to Zebre lock Matteo Canali. The Bulls capitalized on the advantage with a penalty try and eventually scored seven tries in total. Key performances included Curwin Bosch on conversions and Paul de Wet, who scored after an interception.
