Bulls, Lions worlds apart

The Bulls' action, in swiftly showing Director of Rugby Jake White the door at the slightest bit of discontent, is in stark contrast to the Lions' inaction in keeping things the same, despite their struggles in the United Rugby Championship (URC).

It would be unkind to say former Springbok World Cup winning coach White hasn't enjoyed a relatively successful spell at the Bulls since arriving at the union in 2020.

He guided them to the Super Rugby Unlocked title during Covid, as well as the Rainbow Cup SA title, which was a prelude to the URC, although they lost the overall play-off to Benetton Treviso, while they also picked up Currie Cup trophies in 2020 and 2021.
