By Online Editors
The Bulls have failed to sign Springbok fullback Willie Le Roux from English club Wasps.
The Pretoria side were hoping to bring in Le Roux ahead of next year’s Super Rugby tournament. However, Blue Bulls Company high-performance manager Xander Janse van Rensburg told the Rapport newspaper that “Wasps will not release Willie from his contract”.
The Bulls have already brought in big names Duane Vermeulen and Schalk Brits ahead of next year’s Super Rugby tournament.
Meanwhile, the Bulls’ hopes of signing prop Maks van Dyk from Toulouse. were also dashed.
The 26-year-old Van Dyk, who previously played for Griquas and the Free State Cheetahs, decided to sign a one-year contract extension with the French club.
The Bulls recently named Pote Human as their head coach for Super Rugby following John Mitchell’s departure. The Bulls begin their Super Rugby campaign against the Stormers at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Saturday, February 16.

It took a whole season to wash the Foster stink out to be fair. There's still been substantial change though. I think only 7 starters from the RWC QF v IRE started the IRE test in Dublin. This year wasn't the year for full innovation, transition needs to be balanced, & incremental. The new coaches will be able to stamp their full mark on the ABs from 2025 when Razor will select his first proper squad from a mega talented player pool. Exciting times ahead.

The amount of inconsistency with the head contact law coming into the game. No red yesterday and no yellow today, but then another player gets a suspension for a side on headonhead (as apposed to these two sweet shoulders) contact last week. Happy if there is a referee change to having a bit more commensense.
