Bulls go pink in URC derby clash

The Vodacom Bulls are aiming to turn Loftus Versfeld pink for their Vodacom United Rugby Championship derby against the Sharks on October 30.

As they did in the 2012 and 2016 Super Rugby seasons, the Bulls will once again run out in bright pink jerseys when they host the Cell C Sharks in a URC clash.

The campaign is aimed at raising much-needed funds and awareness for breast cancer.

Along with running out in pink kits, the Bulls, as well as the Sharks, will carry the message ‘United We Care’ on the back of their jerseys.

Fans will also have the opportunity to show their own support by uploading a photo of someone (or themselves) who has suffered from or is currently facing their own battle against breast cancer and it could feature on the back of the limited-edition match-day jerseys of both teams.

“There’s still a lot of rugby to be played before we face the Cell C Sharks at Loftus, but we all know that the players and fans will be eagerly anticipating this local derby, so the game will no doubt be a key fixture for both teams,” said Bulls director of rugby Jake White.

“I’m not one for too many side shows, but I truly appreciate the idea of being able to support a cause like breast cancer awareness. In saying this, I’d like to urge and invite all our loyal supporters and the public to join us as we strive to make a difference with this pink campaign.”
