The Vodacom Bulls have announced a 27-man squad for their four-game tour of Australasia, which includes Burger Odendaal.

With the exception of Nafi Tuitavake, who lost his place in the tour group to Franco Naude, head coach Pote Human has included the rest of match-day squad that beat the Highlanders last weekend.

Furthermore, Human has called up four additional players, Dayan van der Westhuizen, Louis van der Westhuizen, Marco Jansen van Vuren and Burger Odendaal, for the trip.

The Bulls will spend two weeks in Australia where they will face the Reds and Waratahs in Brisbane and Sydney respectively, before making the short trip to New Zealand to square off against the Hurricanes and Chiefs.

Human was optimistic about the tour after an emphatic 38-13 win against the Highlanders but warned against complacency.

‘We needed that win to go on tour with our tails up. It has definitely boasted morale within our camp and the players are keen to build on that performance which is great because we are staring down the barrel of four matches against quality opposition with all four teams having won the competition before. We cannot afford to let our guard down, not even for a moment.’
