Bulls confirm signing of Schalk Brits

“Brits will be joining the team in Pretoria early in 2019, and is extremely excited about his upcoming stint with the Bulls,” the union said via a press statement on Friday.
There has been a lot of confusion over the future of the 37-year-old, who has somewhat surprisingly formed part of Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus’ plans as preparations for next year’s Rugby World Cup in Japan continue.

Financial issues, however, meant that the Stormers were unable to complete the deal and Brits was then linked with the Bulls.
