Pierre Spies in the air
South Africa No. 8 Pierre Spies has returned from injury to bolster the Bulls’ team for their Super 14 clash with the Otago Highlanders.
Spies was named in coach Frans Ludeke’s team on Wednesday and will play alongside flanker Dewald Potgieter, who will make his first Super 14 start of the season.
Potgieter came off the bench against New South Wales two weeks ago and has made use of the Bulls’ bye week to fully recover from his early-season knee strain. Spies has also overcome a knee problem.
Springboks lock Victor Matfield will captain the team for the 50th time on Saturday and is set to play his 99th Super rugby match.
Scrumhalf Fourie du Preez was also named in the team despite fears over a sprained ankle at training. – Sapa-AP
