Pretoria - The Bulls have named their squad that will play the Chiefs in Brisbane and then contest the Brisbane Global Tens next weekend.

Flyhalf Handré Pollard will captain the squad and is set to make a return to the playing field after more than a year, with new signings Johnny Kotze, Shaun Adendorff and Jacques Potgieter also included.

The pre-season match against the Chiefs is at Ballymore Stadium in Brisbane on Thursday, 9 February.

At the Brisbane Global Tens, played at Suncorp Stadium on February 11 and 12, the Bulls have been grouped with the Brumbies and Highlanders and depending on results, either the Western Force, Hurricanes or Toulon.

"This will be an interesting trip for us, as we have not done this before," said coach, Nollis Marais.
