“I think it’s a very exciting innovation getting to play other teams in this tournament, it’s a good chance for the teams and supporters as well,” said the winger.
Pule also shared his thoughts on the Pirates squad this season. The Free State-born player reckons the Buccaneers have some really good depth in their squad and believes every player at the club is quality.
“We have really good depth in the squad, I think we have really good players who can compete anywhere in the world. So, it will play a vital role in us gunning for every cup that we are going to participate in. So, I think it is going to be important, especially if everyone to stay fit and injury free,” he added.
The Buccaneers will next meet TS Galaxy in a DStv Premiership clash coming up at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday.
