Pretoria - Bulls coach Frans Ludeke handed scrumhalf Rudy Paige a first Super Rugby start when he named his team to play the Sharks at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Saturday (17:05 kick-off).

All of his nine previous appearances in the competition came via the bench with his elevation to the starting team the only change from the run-on side that came up short against the Hurricanes last weekend.

Paige, who played off the bench in the 17-13 defeat, replaces Piet van Zyl, who drops out of the match-day squad altogether. Travis Ismaiel comes in for Paige on the bench and should he take to the field, the former Junior Springbok wing will make his debut for the team.
