TRANSFER NEWS: Gloucester Rugby revealed that Bulls hooker Jaco Visagie has joined the club on a short-term loan deal.
The 26-year old made his senior debut for the Pretoria-based franchise in 2013 and is now a key part of the Super Rugby squad.

“We’re delighted to bring in someone of Jaco’s calibre to add to our squad on a short-term contract, he will bring a new energy and impetus to our group.
“He’s coming over and he’s excited to test himself within our environment and play in front of the Gloucester Rugby supporters,”
