Bulls head coach Jake White has named a team sprinkled with World Cup winners and bristling with Springbok muscle to face Leinster in Saturday’s URC Grand Final but he refused to accept opposite number Leo Cullen’s assessment that his side was a rugby juggernaut.

The man who led South Africa to the 2007 World Cup was more intent on bolstering Leinster’s credentials as he addressed the media at Croke Park on Thursday than receiving praise for building a Bulls squad with an enticing mixture of proven champions and a younger generation of emerging Springboks.
