RUBEN Kruger ius likely to start for the Northern Bulls when they face defending Super 12 champions, the Canterbury Crusaders on Saturday. The veteran Springbok flank should provide a much-needed boost for the ailing side, who have not won any of their eight games. Another seasoned Bok campaigner, wing Jacques Olivier, will play centre as Grant Esterhuizen has an ankle injury. Mpumalanga’s Riaan Potgieter comes in at the wing.
