WELLINGTON – The Bulls have included Jesse Kriel at outside centre for their Super Rugby quarterfinal against the Hurricanes in Wellington on Saturday.
Kriel makes a return from an ankle injury he sustained in April, and is one of two changes the Bulls have made to their team. As Kriel replaces the injured Burger Odendaal, Johnny Kotze moves to inside centre.
Up front, also makes a return from injury Jason Jenkins to take his place at lock.
