Johannes embraces White's support
The Star
|June 04, 2025
JAKE White, director of rugby at the Bulls, had a chat with flyhalf Keagan Johannes during half-time of their quarter-final against Edinburgh.
His simple words to the inexperienced utility back were to back himself in the second half, play his natural game, and not to hand the kicking tee over to one of his teammates, but to take the responsibility.
Those were the only words the 25-year-old needed to hear, and he took the game by the scruff of the neck in the second half, assisted fullback Willie le Roux with their attacking play and delivered a flawless performance off the kicking tee to help steer the Bulls to a comfortable victory over their Scottish opponents. He contributed 17 points in the 42-33 win.
