Bulls coach Johan Ackermann has named a starting XV stacked with Springbok pedigree for Saturday's Investec Champions Cup clash against Bristol Bears at Loftus Versfeld.
Retired Springbok Steven Kitshoff has defended his former teammate and fellow World Cup winner Willie le Roux after recent criticism.
Bulls captain Ruan Nortje believes one good win is all the team needs to shift the momentum of the season back in their favour.
Bulls head coach Johan Ackermann believes his side was unlucky not to have beaten the Stormers, saying the result could have been different if the ball had bounced their way.
The intensity that was evident for all to see in the Stormers v Bulls derby is the reason the Springboks win Rugby World Cups, says director of rugby John Dobson.
The Stormers maintained their unbeaten record in the United Rugby Championship with a tense 13-8 victory over the Bulls in a sold-out north-south derby at DHL Stadium on Saturday.
