When asked what it would take to win in Dublin, Vodacom Bulls Director of Rugby, Jake White, replied, "Prayer".
"It'll take prayer because we're obviously going to travel, and it's going to be tough. You're talking about an Irish team. It's like Ireland versus the Bulls."
“We have to travel to play an international team. It is going to be like Ireland versus the Bulls. I’m not underplaying it. Ireland have beaten the All Blacks and many big teams".
"We're going to have to get things working in our favour. We're going to have to recover quickly from injury and bumps and bruises, and then we're going to have to play well."
"Look what they did to Glasgow, and Glasgow beat us last year. They didn't struggle to beat Glasgow, and I'm sure that they will also be on a high now going into a final at home."
When asked about the Bulls' chances in the final, Jake White said the Vodacom Bulls are holding a “lotto ticket” and is banking on his senior players to make it count.
“The wonderful thing for us is that we have a lotto ticket, you can’t win the lotto if you don’t have a ticket. We have a 50% chance of winning on Saturday. That’s how sport works.”
History holds little value this week, White insisted.
"It is all immaterial. It is now a final. For both sides, it is a completely different challenge. It doesn’t matter that we beat them last year in a knockout game."
“I’m glad because the whole of Dublin will be rugby crazy. Our young players will experience something unique and special. I will work hard for the guys to enjoy it and be ready."
“We need our senior guys who have been there and done it to impart their knowledge. We have Willie le Roux, who has won a World Cup, so have Marco van Staden and Canan Moodie.
“We also have guys who have played in finals. I want them to talk to each other about what works, and what doesn’t.”
