We need prayer to win URC: White

Bulls Director of Rugby, Jake White, is aware of the mammoth task that is ahead of his side when they take on Leinster in the United Rugby Championship on Saturday in Dublin.

It will be the Bulls’ third final in the tournament’s four-year existence.

Despite falling at the last hurdle several times, the 2007 Rugby World Cup winner believes that their time will come soon.

“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.”

When asked by YSport what it would take for the Bulls to be third time lucky in a final, White said divine intervention would help.

“Prayer. Prayer is what we need,” White said.

“I don’t say this lightly. We need prayer. We have to travel to play an international team. It is going to be tough. It is going to be like Ireland verses the Bulls. I’m not underplaying it. Ireland have beaten the All Blacks and many big teams.”

He says his team has its work cut out for it.
