The South African squad emerged victorious with a 27-16 scoreline, but White expresses regret over the treatment received by Farrell.

“I am apologising for all the booing of Owen Farrell. It is not who we [the Bulls] are,” said the coach.

“I don’t understand all the negativity. He is an unbelievable player.

“What he has achieved in England is phenomenal.

“I am disappointed [about the booing]. I wanted the people to enjoy the fact that they get to see him play.

“You equate that to watching Tiger Woods play golf and [Michael] Jordan playing basketball. I must apologise, because it [booing] is not really who we are.

“We will address that.”
