With two games on the same day, the Bulls' depth will be tested on Saturday as they face Benetton in the final of the Rainbow Cup as well as Western Province in the Currie Cup.  

With the chance of more silverware on the line, the Bulls will no doubt be focussing on the clash against Benetton.

Jake White's men will travel to Italy under Marcell Coetzee who will lead the team in the absence of Duane Vermuelen.

The 28-man squad, which is made up of 16 forwards and 12 backs includes a host of names that have served the franchise so well during the competition.

They are without their Springbok players that are part of the national squad to face the British and Irish Lions, however. 

The match on Saturday kicks off at 18:30.
