Madosh Tambwe believes that the Vodacom United Rugby Championship match against Ulster Rugby on Saturday will prove to be an important path for the Vodacom Bulls’ ambitions of reaching the playoff stages of the competition.
Following a slow start to their campaign, the 24-year-old winger believes that some introspection contributed to the team’s positive turnaround which has seen them catapult from a lowly position on the log to currently occupying the seventh spot on the Vodacom URC table.

“After the losses against the Cell C Sharks and DHL Stormers, we told ourselves that we’re going to take pride in playing at home, and we’ve managed to get some good wins under the belt,” Tambwe said.
“It gives us confidence going into the week, knowing that we are playing at home, and we haven’t lost here in four games.”
With the season now in its second-half stage, the Vodacom Bulls have their eyes set on reaching the playoff stages of the competition.
“The objective stays the same. We want to finish in the top eight of the competition and go to the playoffs,” revealed the speedy outside back.

“Once we get to that stage, we’ll let everything play its course. Our main objective is to keep accumulating as many points as we can and to keep putting pressure on the teams that are ahead of us. Hopefully, we’ll get to the playoffs, play the quarterfinals, move on to the semifinals, and then the final. Nothing is impossible because we have the talent here, and we’ve been playing well, and the guys seem to be confident.”
With their match against Ulster Rugby up next, Tambwe is under no disillusion that his team has a tough task ahead of them.
The Vodacom Bulls will name their team to face Ulster Rugby on Friday. The kick-off for the match will be at 14h00.
