BLUES GET FAVOURABLE DRAW
The Bulls fixtures for the 2023/24 United Rugby Championship season have been confirmed, beginning with an opening-round visit to the fortress by Scarlets, on Sunday 22 October 2023.
Post the opening round, the Tshwane-based side will have a four-week-long European tour that will see them take on Ulster (Northern Ireland), Zebre Parma (Italy), Cardiff Rugby (Wales) and Edinburgh (Scotland). The Bulls will then return to base, first welcoming Connacht on the last weekend of November before ushering in the festive period with a tantalising derby against the Sharks at Loftus, the following weekend.
