The Blue Bulls have announced that three of their current contracted players, Hanro Liebenberg, André Warner and Hendré Stassen, will join Top 14 outfit Stade Francais on short-term deals.
The players will be returning to re-join the Pretoria-based franchise at Loftus Versfeld for the Super Rugby season in 2019.
“In the long term this really assists us in retaining players within the SA Rugby structures, but more importantly it gives our guys the opportunity to gain more international experience,” said Xander Janse van Rensburg, High Performance manager of the Blue Bulls Company.
