We want to give Derick a decent chance to make it.

The nice thing for the Bulls is that we are a side for the big occasions. The bigger the occasion, the more we rise. Saturday will be a test of character and guts and we need to show what we are worth. For that reason I'm taking charge of the forwards this week. We have a few things planned, and we could have a surprise or two for the Sharks.

It's time for every Bulls player to decide for himself how high he wants to lift his hand on Saturday. I've talked to some of the players on Tuesday and will get to the rest on Wednesday. They'll then know what I expect of each and everyone.

He will play, but I'm not saying where.

It will mean we have to play our best rugby of the season if we want to beat the Chiefs for the first time ever on New Zealand soil.

I think it is going to be an exciting game.
