Jake White makes 'I'll buy their first beer' promise to Bulls fans

World Cup-winning coach Jake White has committed to buying a round of drinks for 1,000 Bulls fans following Saturday’s home URC match versus Edinburgh in Pretoria. Last season’s beaten finalists got their new season underway last weekend with a win at the Lions in Johannesburg and the successful 2007 RWC Springboks boss is now hoping a follow-up round two win will be celebrated against the visiting Scots at Loftus Versfeld.

Speaking during a radio interview on Jacaranda FM in the lead-up to the Bulls’ first home game of the 2022/23 campaign, White generously promised to foot the bill for 1,000 post-match drinks for his team’s fans at the stadium’s beer garden.    

“We want to get as many people as possible at our games,” explained White. “We know this weekend will be an afternoon game and it’s Heritage Day. Part of our heritage is to have a braai and a beer, so one of the things we could do is give the first thousand guys to go into the beer tent after the game – I’ll pay for that – and I’ll buy their first beer.

“I always say that we want crowds here at Loftus even if it means we get everyone to the beer tent after the game. Hopefully, we will be celebrating a good result.”

It’s not the first time White has adopted a fan-friendly policy at the Bulls as he was previously responsible for securing a price drop on ticket prices to matches at Loftus and the lowest ticket prices this Saturday are R25 (£1.25) with U18s entitled to free admission.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
