White takes the rotational route

Bulls boss Jake White has taken something of a gamble by resting several big-name players for his team's United Rugby Championship (URC) match against the Scarlets in Newport tonight (kick-off 8.35pm), putting his team's unbeaten run in the competition under threat.

While Scarlets have only won one match in four outings, they go into this home clash having beaten Cardiff 25-19 away last weekend, while they also drew with Benetton away, who thumped the Stormers last weekend, and lost to Connacht by a point.

Getting the better of Scarlets will take a big performance, but White has still opted to rest several of his stars including Gerhard Steenekamp, Ruan Nortje, Elrigh Louw, David Kriel and Willie le Roux, while Embrose Papier and Johan Grobbelaar will play off the bench.
