CELEBRATION TIME: Jake White awoke the slumbering giant and on Saturday his team will lift a trophy to celebrate the accomplishment.
It has been a decade since the heady days of their last Super Rugby success.
However, given they are ending a 10-year drought, Duane Vermeulen and his team will celebrate with as much gusto and gleefulness as Victor Matfield’s Bulls did in winning a Super 14 title in the Orlando Stadium back in 2010.
In the wake of the COVID-19-enforced cancellation of the Sharks versus Stormers match, no team is likely to overtake the Bulls.
The only thing that can, perhaps, put a spanner in the works is if the Pumas achieve the unthinkable and beat the Bulls by 43 points or more.
However, most compos mentis people will bank on a Bulls win.
“There will be a trophy handover and celebrations on Saturday,” Bulls coach and Director of Rugby Jake White told a virtual media briefing.
“We are going to enjoy it,” he said of the planned celebrations.
The Bulls believe they deserve their win, despite the cancellation of some COVID-19-affected games.
“You have to be resilient and be able to adapt,” White said of the curveballs thrown at teams this year.
“Let me tell you, it is great to win,” White said, adding: “We got bonus-point wins against the two teams closest to us on the standings [the Stormers and Sharks] and we beat them convincingly.
(Article continues below standings … )
“It is enjoyable to win and we all knew it was going to be a curtailed tournament.
“We needed to hit the ground running.
“I am not being arrogant, but we enjoy winning.
“It is something for us to celebrate.
“These players deserve the accolades they are getting.”
He said it means a lot to him to help end a decade-long drought at Loftus.
“I didn’t join this union just to finish off my career, or just get a job.
“I came here on the basis that this is a sleeping giant. We knew that when it wakes up it is going to be a powerhouse in World Rugby again.”
The Bulls skipper, Vermeulen, said it is nice to know that after 10 years the Bulls have won something again.
“However, we should look ahead to the great opportunities ahead and build towards that,” Vermeulen said.
“We will close one chapter this weekend, but there are many more chapters to follow in this story.”

The only other match scheduled for the weekend is the Cheetahs hosting Griquas in a central-union derby in Bloemfontein.
Cheetahs coach Hawies Fourie, who spoke about the conditions and the chance of rain, said winning is vital after a fractured campaign.
After two early wins, including edging the Bulls, they had a game cancelled through COVID-19 and then had a bye.
They just did not manage to regain their momentum after that.
“We have spoken about where we are on the standings [fourth place] and what awaits us,”he said of the Currie Cup part of the season.
“We have now added this [Super Rugby Unlocked] encounter with Griquas to the six remaining game and said our Currie Cup season starts now.
“The points are being carried over, so it is vital that we get five points out of Saturday’s game.
“That is our mindset now. Our goal is to start with 17 points in the second half of the season, when we will play three of the four big guns at home [in Bloemfontein].
“Our goal is to be in the top two to have home ground advantage in the [Currie Cup] play-offs.”

This will be the inaugural meeting between the Cheetahs and Griquas in Super Rugby Unlocked; both teams come into this game on the back of consecutive defeats.

However, their half-time lead against the Sharks in Round Six was the first time they’ve led at the end of either half of a game this season.
The Griquas have won 8.8 turnovers per game in Super Rugby Unlocked, the most of any team in the competition and more than twice as many as the Cheetahs (4.3).
The Cheetahs have gained 365 metres per game in Super Rugby Unlocked, the joint-most of any team in the competition (also Lions).
