Bulls signing a crap load of players again. these are innitial signings after Craven week we await the rest.

Great to see the Lions securing their future with some awesome talent!

i really think this is not good for sa rugby that the bulls is signing so many players. even natal is signing less players these days. this all looks great for bulls rugby but then again the other unions are lacking behind in creating depth in there teams

 The odd thing here is that Free State have the second most sighning confirmations, but it's still early days. some contracts are definitely still under discussion and more will come through in the coming weeks. Lions will struggle to sign I think with the whole debacle hanging over their heads.

@EK...

Regarding Free State signings...

1 word...

TOYOTA

Might be, question is are they allowed to use sponsorship money to sign players....?

Not sure on that, but as always all sposors sign their own agreements so maybe you know more than me.

@ek the unions are not allowed to sign players with sponsers money direclty but they come into there system then the players feed anyways of the sponsorship cash.

really happy for the FS. they get raped on a yearly basis of all there playing talent so its great to see them signing new players. good for SA rugby that the smaller unions compete.

i think FS must get some sail financial backing. those EU monsters has some big bank accounts can only help them develop and move there brand forward
