IS Keagan Johannes a flyhalf or scrumhalf? That is the question that has been on the lips of many Bulls fans this season.

It’s all about ‘micro-comms’ for Bulls’ Johannes

But the playmaker from Mamre in the Western Cape is clear that he is thrilled about the challenge of making the Bulls tick on attack.

That journey will continue in Saturday’s United Rugby Championship clash against Munster in Limerick (6.15pm start).

Johannes was brought in at a critical stage into the pivot berth by coach Jake White a few weeks ago following the long-term injury to Johan Goosen, and then stop-gap measure Willie le Roux returned to fullback and then required shoulder surgery.

The 25-year-old Johannes has been waiting a long time for his big break, and he took it with both hands.

He started off steadily in the 21-20 victory over Leinster at Loftus Versfeld, but his almost coming-of-age performance was in the 63-24 thrashing of Zebre in Pretoria a week later.
