Schalk Burger back Bulls to turn season around

"The Bulls have got enough talent within that group, coaching staff as well," says Burger.

"It's not easy. You search for things when you're not in winning form and momentum is key in any sport. Where the Stormers have the momentum at the moment, the Bulls don't have any. It's just a question of patience. They'll turn the corner, hopefully sooner rather than later."

With coach White describing this period in their United Rugby Championship history as a great test for his own coaching as well as for them as a group, Burger identified team culture as the biggest reason for the Stormers' current success in second place on the log.

"All credit to Dobbo [John Dobson] and his team," continued Burger.

"Everyone who puts on that jersey seems to play with the same intensity. They get the results. It's a culture thing. I think Dobbo has been fortunate that he's had quite a lot of time in the seat and we've gone through various iterations through Dobbo. "At the moment they've just found a way how to play nicely and have got a good balance in the side. But I think culture is the main difference with the DHL Stormers at the moment."
