Mitchell ‘wants Spencer at Bulls’

Former All Blacks first-five Carlos Spencer is reportedly in line for an assistant coaching role at the Bulls. The struggling South African side recently announced the appointment of New Zealander John Mitchell as their executive of rugby, with Mitchell — who is busy completing his duties as United States head coach — set to join the team next month. He will coach the Bulls’ Super Rugby team, and according to Sport24, Spencer is on Mitchell’s wish-list and he could be roped in as backline consultant at the Pretoria franchise. Spencer is an assistant coach at Japanese club Munakata Sanix Blues.
