The Bulls are bracing themselves for a tough battle with the “ill-disciplined” Jaguares in Buenos Aires on Saturday night. The Argentine side may have won only two matches so far this season‚ but both victories came at the expense of South African teams‚ the Southern Kings and Cheetahs.The Jaguares have also proven to be a tough opponent‚ especially when playing at home. Their discipline‚ however‚ has been their biggest downfall‚ and that is something the Bulls will be looking at when the two sides meet just before midnight (11. 40pm SA-time kickoff) at the Velez Sarsfield Stadium in Buenos Aires.Bulls need to maul Jaguares in Argentina to keep title hopes aliveThe Bulls will be fighting to keep their Super Rugby hopes of a playoff spot alive in their remaining three matches of the competition. “It’s going to be difficult‚” admitted Bulls coach Nollis Marais. “They have played three good matches and have been a difficult side over there. It will be a big challenge.“They have some discipline issues. Playing there is going to be difficult. But I’m not worried about them‚ but more on what it is that we need to do. Hopefully we can capitalise on the discipline. It’s going to be a breakdown match.”To counter the Jaguares at the breakdown Marais has included hard-grafting flanker Roelof Smit in the starting line up‚ with Jannes Kirsten and Renaldo Bothma providing cover on the bench.Bothma will make his Super Rugby debut for the Bulls should he come on the pitch after joining the Pretoria side from the Sharks.Fresh skippers to take the helm as Super Rugby returnsSuch was the heavy physical toll of the June Tests that the Lions, Sharks, Bulls and Stormers will resume Super rugby hostility without their regular captains on Saturday. Kirsten will be providing cover at both lock and loose-forward.Reflecting on their previous Super Rugby match – a heavy 20-56 defeat to the Lions – Marais expects improvements from his charges.“We can’t just rely on the maul‚” the Bulls coach said. “Yes‚ that is a big part of the team‚ but we also need to look at different ways to breach the gain line.”One slip-up for the Bulls in their remaining three matches could see them lose grip of any opportunity they may have had of securing a playoff berth.The Pretoria side are lamenting the missed opportunities to gain some more bonus points from their first 12 matches of the competition.“What’s hurting us at the moment is the bonus points‚” Marais admitted.“We talked about it at the beginning of the season … Now all we can do is make sure that we win our next three and hope that somebody else slips up and gives us a chance to get into the finals.“We have a bit of control of our destiny‚ but not what happens with the other sides.” The Jaguares have made six changes to their side that last did duty in their 22-29 defeat to the Kings in Port Elizabeth in May.Bulls team: SP Marais‚ Travis Ismaiel‚ Jesse Kriel‚ Burger Odendaal‚ Jamba Ulengo‚ Francois Brummer‚ Rudy Paige‚ Arno Botha‚ Lappies Labuschagne‚ Roelof Smit‚ Marvin Orie‚ Jason Jenkins‚ Marcel van der Merwe‚ Bandise Maku‚ Lizo Gqoboka.
