Overview
- Rapport and RugbyPass report that Springbok wing Kurt-Lee Arendse is set to rejoin the Mitsubishi/Sagamihara DynaBoars next season.
- Arendse scored seven tries in 12 matches during his previous Japan Rugby League One stint before returning to complete his Bulls contract.
- RugbyPass reports it is understood coach Johan Ackermann does not plan to offer Arendse a new deal due to limited club availability in the 2027 World Cup year.
- A prior near-£250,000 permanent move to the DynaBoars was reported last May as having been halted by the Bulls board.
- Rapport says Glasgow Warriors have shown interest in centre David Kriel, while the Bulls are prioritizing his extension and are in talks over a reported five-year deal for junior Bok hooker Esethu Mnebelele, who has also been linked with the Stormers.
