Scrum hero Smith: Bulls must back it up against Zebre

Cape Times

March 27, 2025

MORNE van Smith last played for the Bulls on January 10 before last weekends clash against Leinster.

- ASHFAK MOHAMED

The 27-year-old hooker had prepped hard, had much game-time since the arrival of Wilco Louw in Pretoria, who has been a powerhouse in the scrums for Jake White's team.

But Smith - who has been a regular starter in the No 3 jersey for a number of seasons - finally got his chance last Saturday, and came up with the big play that helped his team clinch a last-gasp victory.

Lining up for a final scrum where the Bulls needed to secure a penalty for a match-winning goal-kick, Smith and his fellow front-rowers Akker van der Merwe and Jan-Hendrik Wessels shoved Leinster off their feet to earn the referee's decision.

Centre David Kriel then stepped up to slot the three-pointer to claim a 21-20 triumph that saw the Bulls retain top spot on the United Rugby Championship log.
