Ragnan the son of Viking Snyman is miraculously ready for his Bulls tour. He played 71 times for the Bulls in 4 years. Will be foolish to pick him against the Bulls as he'll be out to impress.

Springboks head coach Rassie Erasmus’s latest plan involves powerhouse front-row Ox Nche learning to play on both sides of the front-row. Nche, who typically plays as a loosehead, shifted across to tighthead during the second half of the Sharks’ dominant round of 16 win last weekend against Zebre Pa...

Will be interesting to see the names on the Bulls’ team sheet.

Apparently, the Bulls completely messed up their travel plans, struggling to get all their players to Europe.

3rd episode - About taking the scrum in the boks 22 after Willemse's clean catch. It was well thought through beforehand as they wanted to spend the French forwards energy by calling them all the way to the 22 for the scrum. Human said this: "It's only a risk if you haven't worked hard enough".
