Vodacom Bulls utility back David Kriel said last week’s atrocious conditions at the Sportsfield in Galway prepared them for Europe’s worst weather and that the mood in the Vodacom Bulls camp is at an all-time high.
Kriel said the mood in the Vodacom Bulls camp is at an “all-time high” as they steel themselves for tough conditions against Saracens in London on Saturday.
“We are expecting wind and rain, and especially after last week’s game against Connacht when we expected the worst weather and prepared accordingly."
“If the weather is better than that, we’ll just adapt our game, but we’re expecting the worst weather imaginable.”
Kriel said the momentum they built in the URC will mean nothing if they can’t follow that up with a win over Saracens.
“The Connacht win has been a huge one, especially a bonus-point win away from home in atrocious weather, so the confidence in the squad is at an all-time high,” he said.
“Saracens is a world-class team, we can not be sloppy against them and need to show composure on the ball."
“It is a positive that we’ve faced them in the past, and we beat them, but our approach doesn’t change."
“We’re still going out believing we can win this game and kick our Champions Cup off on a good note.”
