The Bulls recruit another former player for the 2020 Super Rugby season
The Bulls have continued their recruitment for next season with another former player returning to the franchise from France.
Former Springbok and Super Rugby winning lock Juandre Kruger has confirmed that he will be leaving Toulon to return to the Bulls in December ahead of the next season.
Kruger represented the Bulls between 2008 and 2013 and makes his return to Loftus Versfeld after spending the last six years in France where he played for Racing 92 and Toulon.
Kruger made his Springbok debut in 2012, winning 17 Test caps, with his last of which coming against the All Blacks in 2013.
