Cheetahs scrum coach Daan Human will help the Vodacom Bulls coaching staff while remaining with the Bloemfontein-based side.

Human will assist the Bulls as scrum coach in the Vodacom Super Rugby tournament two days every week. He will spend the remainder of the period with the Cheetahs.

Bulls coach Pote Human expressed his delight at having Human at his disposal.

‘I firmly believe that Daan will play a major role in taking us forward.  The great work he has done at the Cheetahs is obvious to see, and we are looking forward to him joining the Bulls family.’

High-performance manager Xander Janse van Rensburg thanked the Cheetahs for making the move possible.

‘This arrangement is a bold step for rugby in South Africa, and more importantly it shows the willingness of the teams to improve the game in the country. We must commend the Cheetahs for their enthusiasm and open-mindedness towards making this possible.’
