The Bulls are set to be without Springbok flyhalf Handre Pollard for the remainder of their United Rugby Championship tour north.
For the first time in six years, Springbok Handre Pollard is at flyhalf for the Bulls as they run out to face Ulster in the United Rugby Championship on Saturday.
Bulls captain Johan Grobbelaar is looking forward to a Bulls team at near full-strength as they welcome back Springboks, including the mercurial Handre Pollard, into the squad.
The Bulls head to Ireland on Monday with 13 Springboks in their ranks for a three-week United Rugby Championship tour, where they face Ulster, Connacht and Glasgow.
With Handre Pollard, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Manie Libbok all contending for the Springbok No. 10 position, South African rugby is in a healthy place.
Former Springbok coach Nick Mallett described how Handre Pollard guided the Boks to their most recent victory, but it's the blend with the other flyhalves that is key.
