The Bulls Unleash Their Champions Cup Arsenal: A Squad to Watch Out For!
Get ready for an explosive season as the Bulls reveal their mighty 39-man squad for the European Champions Cup. This team is a force to be reckoned with, packed with seasoned veterans and explosive talent.
The Pretoria franchise begins their journey next weekend, hosting the formidable French side, Bordeaux Bègles. And leading the charge is none other than the legendary Handré Pollard.
Pollard, a 31-year-old flyhalf, returns to the Bulls after leaving his mark in France and England. He’s a Springbok veteran and a key figure in the recent Nations Series. But here’s where it gets controversial… Pollard isn’t the only Springbok in this squad. In fact, there are a whopping 18 Springbok stars ready to take on Europe!
Joining Pollard in the backline are the likes of Kurt-Lee Arendse, Canan Moodie, and Willie le Roux, giving the Bulls an elite backline that will strike fear into any opposition.
Up front, the Bulls have assembled a formidable pack. Think Gerhard Steenekamp, Jan-Hendrik Wessels, and Johan Grobbelaar – names that will strike fear into any forward pack. And with the likes of Wilco Louw and Ruan Nortje adding muscle, this team is a true powerhouse.
But it’s not just about the big names. The Bulls have depth across the board, with talented youngsters like Elrigh Louw and Cameron Hanekom, currently injured but expected to make a big impact later in the competition. This squad has a strong Springbok core, but it’s the blend of experience and youth that makes them a genuine threat.
And this is the part most people miss: the Bulls have been building towards this moment for years. With a determined mindset and a squad full of talent, they’re ready to finally claim their place as European champions. Will they succeed? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: this squad is a force to be reckoned with.
So, what do you think? Are the Bulls the dark horses of this competition? Or do you see another team taking the crown? Let us know in the comments below! We’d love to hear your predictions and thoughts on this star-studded squad.
