Bulls head coach Johan Ackermann has clarified media reports and social media speculation, with three Springbok assistant coaches and a mobi-unit coach having been made available to help the struggling union ahead of their URC derby against the Stormers on Saturday.
This comes after SA Rugby answered Ackermanns request for assistance by agreeing thatBok assistant coaches Jerry Flannery, Felix Jones and Andy Edwards, along with mobi-unit coach Duane Vermeulen, would help the Bulls management team.
This led to an outcry over favouritism, with SA rugby perceived as giving one union an unfair advantage over another .
