Trio back to bolster Bulls

Johannesburg - Log leaders the Bulls have recalled experienced midfielder Wynand Olivier, loose forward Dewald Potgieter and prop Dean Greyling for Saturday's Super Rugby clash against the Highlanders in Dunedin.

Olivier replaces Francois Venter and Potgieter comes in for injured Deon Stegmann from the side that beat the Waratahs in Sydney last week, having both been declared fit for the match.

Greyling returns to the side after he missed the Waratahs clash due to personal reasons and replaces Dawie Steyn.

Potgieter joined the squad on Sunday after recovering from a hamstring strain and Olivier was rested against the Waratahs in order to recover from bruised ribs.

Flyhalf Morne Steyn will become the sixth player from the franchise to turn out in 100 Super Rugby matches.

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.
