Trouble brewing at the Bulls?

Johan Ackermann is reportedly being lined up to take charge of the Vodacom Bulls, with claims that senior players and coaches have called for Jake White to be axed.

According to South African newpaper Rapport, skipper Ruan Nortje and fellow Springbok Marcell Coetzee led a player delegation that met with Bulls management to express dissatisfaction with director of rugby White’s leadership. 

The group is said to have demanded urgent intervention, with some players reportedly threatening not to renew or even to terminate contracts if change isn’t forthcoming.
