Bulls the SA franchise to watch in Super Rugby?

Title number four not out of reach for Bulls in 2015.

With a number of players to return from injury and a few top class new signings the Bulls are surely a team to watch in this year’s Super Rugby competition.

It is especially up front where the Pretoria franchise can be considered most dangerous.

Making their return from injury is lock Flip van der Merwe, loose forwards Pierre Spies and Arno Jordaan. New signings so far include flanker Lappies Labuschagne, winger Jamba Ulengo and two Springboks in Trevor Nyakane (prop) and Adriaan Strauss (hooker) all from the Cheetahs.

The Bulls are SA’s most successful Super Rugby franchise with three titles (2007, 2009 and 2010) – one more than the Brumbies and current champs the Chiefs.

The Bulls start their 2015 campaign at home against rivals the Stormers on 13 February. They will then remain in SA until May where they play four consecutive away games against the Blues, Chiefs, Brumbies and Rebels.
