Bulls coach Johan Ackermann has welcomed back his large Springbok contingent for Saturday’s URC clash against the Lions at Loftus Versfeld.

Bulls coach Johan Ackermann has brought several returning Springboks into the squad for Saturday's United Rugby Championship match against the Lions at Loftus Versfeld. Ackermann made 10 changes to the starting lineup following last week's defeat to Munster, recalling key internationals including Willie le Roux and Canan Moodie to the backline.
Hanro Liebenberg takes over the captaincy from Marcell Coetzee, who is sidelined with a knee injury. Additional changes across the pack include Cameron Hanekom starting at No 8 and Gerhard Steenekamp in the front row, while Handré Pollard and Elrigh Louw provide experienced depth from the bench.
