Bulls to honour Hendricks in final URC round-robin match with power 23

The Mercury

|

May 16, 2025

THERE will undoubtedly be a sombre atmosphere at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday when the Bulls take on the Dragons in the final regular season match of the United Rugby Championship.

- LEIGHTON KOOPMAN

Following the news of the passing of one of their stalwarts, former Springbok Cornal Hendricks, the Pretoria side will most likely play this game (3pm kick-off) in his memory, which should give them that extra motivation to entertain their crowd just like Hendricks did in his time.

Hendricks passed away on Wednesday from a suspected heart attack and was a much-loved figure in the blue of the Bulls during his time at the franchise.

Jake White, Bulls director of rugby, will announce his side on Friday morning. Even if they face the bottom side of the tournament, it is still expected to be a strong matchday 23.
