The squad has a blend of experience and youth with Human opting for 22 forwards and 18 backs with less than two weeks to go until their opening clash against the Sharks in Durban.

Burger Odendaal will captain the team while marshalling the inside channel and will have international experience to call on from Loftus favourite Morné Steyn returning to Pretoria after several seasons in France.

The Bulls will also get to enjoy the services of Tongan international, Nafi Tuitavake, as the 18 Test centre returns to Super Rugby after plying his trade in England.

The backs have several new youthful players that have proved their worth for other teams but now have the opportunity to do the same for the Bulls at senior levels, guys such as Chris Smith and Richard Kriel will be eagerly waiting in the wings.

New faces amongst the forwards include former Bull and Springbok lock, Juandré Kruger; Scottish capped Josh Strauss and Namibian hooker Louis van der Westhuizen who all bolster a forward pack that is brimming with players who want to leave their mark on the tournament including Muller Uys, Jeandré Rudolph and Abongile Nonkontwana.

Forwards: Simphiwe Matanzima, Gerhard Steenekamp, Lizo Gqoboka, Corniel Els, Jaco Visagie, Muller Uys, Johan Grobbelaar, Louis van der Westhuizen, Trevor Nyakane, Wiehahn Herbst, Dayan van der Westhuizen, Andries Ferreira, Ryno Pieterse, Ian Groenewald, Juandré Kruger, Ruan Nortje, Tim Agaba, Marco van Staden, Jeandré Rudolph, Ruan Steenkamp, Abongile Nonkontwana, Wian Vosloo, Josh Strauss.
