Both featured prominently for the Pumas in an epic 2022 Currie Cup campaign, and were consistent performers as Jimmy Stonehouse’s charges looked to defend their title last season.
They reunite with former teammate Sebastian de Klerk as the latest signings by the Bulls, following several high-profile recruits – including veteran Springbok playmaker Willie le Roux – who will make Loftus Versfeld their new stomping ground.
The news also follows the appointment of four new assistant coaches, including Gary Gold, as White overhauled his support staff for the upcoming campaign.
