Cape Town - Bulls hooker Bongi Mbonambi is likely to sign a deal with their arch rivals, the Stormers.
Blue Bulls Company High Performance Manager Xander Janse van Rensburg told Wednesday's Cape Times that Mbonambi had turned down their offer to extend his contract.
Mbonambi's contract with the Bulls expires at the end of October, and speculation is rife that he could join the Stormers.
His reason for not wanting to stay at the Bulls appears to be over their decision to play Callie Visagie ahead of him.
The Bulls were quick to find a replacement for Mbonambi though, with reports linking Cheetahs captain Adriaan Strauss with a move back to Pretoria.
Mbonambi is not the only front ranker reported to be heading for the Cape, with Cheetahs and Springbok prop Trevor Nyakane also in the Stormers' sights.
