THE Bulls have reacted to their poor performances in the United Rugby Championship and Champions Cup by sacking assistant coaches Andries Bekker and Chris Rossouw.

- MIKE GREENAWAY

The development was leaked on social media yesterday morning, with the Bulls yet to confirm the move in a statement of their own.

Bekker (forwards) and Rossouw (backline) served under former head coach Jake White, who parted ways with the Pretoria-based franchise in July following a player revolt after comments he made following the URC final defeat to Leinster.

White was succeeded by Johan Ackermann, who initially retained the existing backroom staff.
