Potgieter relishing return to Bulls

Cape Town - Loose forward Jacques Potgieter has returned to South Africa to re-join the Bulls ahead of the 2017 Super Rugby season.

Potgieter, 30, completed his duties at Japanese club Munakata Sanix Blues at the weekend and is now ready to re-join his former team-mates, having played for the Bulls between 2011 and 2013.

He also represented the Waratahs in 2014/15 before joining the Sharks ahead of last year’s Super Rugby competition.

Injury prevented him from playing for the Sharks and it was announced last year that he had re-signed at the Bulls.

It was at the Bulls where Potgieter became a Springbok, representing the Boks in three Tests in 2012. He was previously also on the books of the Port Elizabeth-based Kings.

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
