The Vodacom Bulls are gearing up to add a dash of high-octane action to their game plan with the anticipated return of Canan Moodie, their Springbok dynamo, in the upcoming clash against Zebre. Set to take place at Loftus Versfeld this Saturday, the match promises to showcase the Bulls' revived backline prowess in the Vodacom URC showdown.
Bulls attack coach Neil de Bruin shared insights on Tuesday regarding Moodie's recovery from a hamstring injury sustained in mid-April during a game against the Dragons. Missing the victorious match against the Scarlets, Moodie's potential return could spell trouble for Zebre, currently anchored at the bottom of the standings. "He trained nicely today [Tuesday] and is in a good space. A decision will be made closer to the weekend," De Bruin conveyed to the press.
"He’s a world-class centre and one of the best wingers in the world."
De Bruin didn't shy away from praising Moodie's exceptional versatility, hinting at the player's potential roles in the upcoming game. "So whether we’re playing him either of those positions… I reckon he’ll probably be playing at No 9 or 10 as well, and he’ll be quality there." Moodie's adaptability not only enhances the team's strategic depth but also highlights his robust athletic character, ready to meet the team's needs wherever required.
"Canan is such a versatile player for us and you try and fit the right puzzle piece that you need for the game and get those combinations ready,"
With the Bulls currently positioned seventh in the league, the team is eyeing a strong finish with back-to-back Highveld victories, eyeing another matchup against Benetton in the final round of the regular season next week. As Loftus Versfeld prepares to host this thrilling encounter, all eyes will be on Moodie, whose presence on the field could be a game-changer for the Bulls in their quest for supremacy in the URC.
