Bulls head coach John Mitchell has reportedly asked the Bulls board for R90million to bolster the struggling three-times Super Rugby winners’ squad.
According to Netwerk24, Mitchell made the request at a meeting with the union’s executive. The report added that the request did not go down well with the union’s top brass.
However, the board have moved to strongly deny any division and insist Mitchell has their full backing.
The Bulls finished bottom of the South African Conference and 12th on the overall standings, winning six of their 16 games in 2018.
