'Kicking is key in Edinburgh'
The Citizen
|January 23, 2026
Bulls head coach Johan Ackermann (above) believes the aerial battle will be key against an Edinburgh side that kicks more than most, especially in conditions that favour them, when the teams meet at Hive Stadium tonight (kickoff 9.45pm).
Sean Everitt named a full-strength Edinburgh side, bringing back several Scotland internationals for their home fixture, where they are unbeaten this season.
Edinburgh come from a 63-10 thumping away to Bath in their last match. They have won two of their last six games and are 10th in the URC with three wins from eight games. They are one spot, and one point, above the Bulls.
Ackermann named a strong team too, though no fewer than seven Springboks are unavailable, including Cobus Wiese, Canan Moodie and Elrigh Louw.
