The Bulls still have plenty to play for, with a home quarter-final within reach. A top-two finish also remains possible if results elsewhere go their way and they secure a bonus-point win.

Coach Johann Ackermann described Benetton as a world-class team filled with Italian internationals and expects a Test-match-like game when they meet at Loftus Versfeld this coming weekend.

"It’s a team which includes several Italian internationals who enjoyed a great Six Nations campaign".
