EP to Beard the Bull on the B Field

The Eastern Province Kings travel to Pretoria this weekend to face the Blue Bulls in a Vodacom Cup rugby match on the Loftus B Field in Pretoria on Saturday 2 April at 15h00.

Apologies in advance to those guys who rely on updates via the MyPE Live Blog – on Saturday I start 6 days of voluntary work on the water looking after 30 of the countries top Optimist Dinghy sailors taking part in a Selections regatta to choose which of them will represent South Africa, so am unable to travel even if the budget could stretch to a weekend in Pretoria for the Longhair and I (anyone want to sponsor the next trip?).

Team Manager, Sydney Goba announced the Eastern Province team to take on the Blue Bulls as follows (Click on the player registration number to see a SA Rugby profile of each):
