Kirchner commits to Bulls
Zane Kirchner has signed a new three-year contract with the Blue Bulls..
Kirchner has been solid at fullback for the Bulls in 2009, a string of consistent performances resulting in a call up to the Springboks in the third Test against the British & Irish Lions.
His re-signing with the Bulls ensures the Pretoria side has two Test options at fullback, with Jaco van der Westhuyzen recently confirming a move back to the Bulls.
‘I think my rugby has developed over the last two years, but I still think I can get better and my goal therefore is to keep improving as a player.’ said Kirchner.
‘It is a privilege to play with so many talented guys and I want to do my bit to ensure that the Bulls remain a world class franchise.’
Tiger Mangweni has also extended his stay with the Bulls for another year.

Pity. The Sharks could have used him and turned him into a wing to replace usless Ndungane.

Great for him , the bulls are strong at the back with him and Tiger plus Wacko Jacko to fill in. You need depth to win the S14.

#3 Transformation: The head of the Lions thought the same thing, mentioning it in an interview about a week ago. Perhaps he had indicated intent, or something like that.

The Bulls a world class franchise
Never thought you can mention the Bulls and McDonalds in the same breath. I mean the Bulls only have one outlet?
