Sarries ace Brits signs for the Bulls

THE Bulls have confirmed the signing of former Saracens hooker Schalk Brits on a one-year contract.

Brits, who spent nine years at Saracens, was a surprise recall for South Africa’s November internationals and looks set to be named as the third hooker for the 2019 World Cup squad to go to Japan.

“Brits will be joining the team in Pretoria early in 2019,” the Bulls’ said via a press statement on Friday.
