Last week the Vodacom Bulls proudly announced that we had entered into a partnership agreement with Boland and the Pumas Rugby Unions regarding the Bulls Super Rugby Franchise.

Monde Tabata, Administrator of the Border Rugby Union also expressed enthusiasm to take the relationship forward – “There are many talented players in Border and they need anaspirational guide, and I believe that the Vodacom Bulls could fulfill thatrole. The Bulls also have coaching capacity and skills available that will immensely assist the needs of Border. The strategy (blue print) must be a working relationship that will inspire the partners and deliver top rugby players for all concerned. The relationship must be seen to provide local boys with great opportunities to excel and reach new heights in their careers.”
