The Bulls have been the most consistent South African team since joining the United Rugby Championship in the 2021-22 season. While they have yet to win it, they have been runners-up on three occasions.
The Bulls reached the final in the 2021-22 campaign where they lost to the Stormers. They missed out in the 2022-23 season but hosted the final in 2023-24 where they lost to Glasgow Warriors. Last season, the Bulls were again in the final but suffered defeat to Leinster away from home.
This season there is once again much expected from the Pretoria-based outfit. Jake White has left with Johan Ackerman taking over the reins. They have also made a few impressive signings, including two-time World Cup winner, Handre Pollard. Former Springbok centre, Jan Serfontein has also returned to Loftus.
The Bulls begin their campaign at home against Ospreys in round one and host Leinster, in a repeat of the final last season, in round two.
That is followed by a three-match European tour where they will face Ulster, Connacht and Glasgow before the international break. They are back home at the end of November.
