The Vodacom Bulls bowed out of the EPCR Challenge Cup on Saturday afternoon, going down 34-28 to Edinburgh in their quarterfinal in the Scottish capital.

The Vodacom Bulls have decided to go for their own “bomb squad” ahead of their EPCR Challenge Cup quarterfinal against Edinburgh on Saturday, picking no less than six Springboks on their bench.

But that’s precisely what may well make a major difference for the Vodacom Bulls on their tough journey through their current tour that comprises not only EPCR Challenge Cup knockout games, but two crucial Vodacom United Rugby Championship matches as well.

Johan Goosen @ Getty Images To say that Johan Goosen has had his fair share of injury setbacks in his career would be an understatement. Just this season he has missed a lengthy part in the beginning with a knee injury and again over the past ten weeks with another injury.
