Lekoelea said, “I understand there are a lot of things happening around the team as their head coach recently resigned and Rulani is in charge as their caretaker coach.”

Lekoelea added, “We don’t know what’s going to happen but I am quite certain that the team is in capable hands under Rulani, as he knows the players. The club made the right decision in appointing Rulani,” added Lekoelea.
The Buccaneers’ first match after the international break will be against Bidvest Wits.
