The Leopards u/20s will host the Vodacom Bulls u/20s on Saturday at Olenpark in Potchefstroom at 13h00 in Round 1 of the 2023 SA Rugby Cup.
The Vodacom Blue Bulls u/20 "struggled" in their first match in 2022 against the Leopards, however, as in 2022 we expect the Vodacom Blue Bulls to run away in the second half to bag a full five log points.
Vodacom Blue Bulls u/20 head coach, Wessel du Plessis will be anxious to bag as many log points as soon as possible as he will lose a number of players to the SA u/20 preparation camp set to start early in April 2023.
