Johann Grobbelaar Named Bulls Captain for European Tour

Because Marcell Coetzee will not initially be part of the Bulls’ upcoming European tour due to concussion problems, one of the most underrated players and leaders in the Bulls team, Johann Grobbelaar, has been named captain of his group – which includes 13 Springboks – by coach Johan Ackermann.

|The Bulls left last night for their three-week tour to Ireland and Scotland, during which they will play against Ulster (Saturday 11 October), Connacht (Friday 17 October) and the Glasgow Warriors (Friday 24 October), with 13 Springboks in their ranks.

Unfortunately, a failed HIA scuppered Marcell Coetzee’s chances and the flank will remain at home (for now) where he will be regularly assessed by medical staff. He had led the Bulls to two fine opening wins but will now be replaced as captain by hooker Johann Grobbelaar.
