The Bulls' list of recruits are undeniably impressive, but very few of them are likely to be seen at Loftus immediately owing to Covid-19 logistical challenges. Other players are also training individually in other provinces, notably in the Western Cape, as the Bulls finalise their returns to Pretoria. In contrast, the Lions can resume their activities imminently with a full senior training group. With the trio's return subject to the relaxation of international travel restrictions, there's understandably not much the Bulls can do. What is undeniable, however, is that the franchise's early conditioning and non-contact training will commence with player numbers steadily swelling as time passes.
