Bulls (rugby Union)
The Bulls, for sponsorship reasons known as the Vodacom Bulls, are a South African rugby union team competing in the Super Rugby competition. They are based in Pretoria and play their home matches at Loftus Versfeld. Prior to 1998, the Bulls competed in the then-Super 12 as the Blue Bulls, as in those years South Africa was represented in the Super 12 by its top four Currie Cup unions instead of franchises. The current team captain is Pierre Spies.They also won the 2010 Super 14 which was the last of that particular competition because the competition will be upgraded to Super Rugby in 2011. They have won three super titles and is among the most successful teams in the super rugby history with three titles, a feat they share with the Blues of New Zealand. They are the most successful Super 14 team in its history, winning three out of the five titles.

Famous quotes containing the word bulls:
“What more is to love than I have loved?
And if there be nothing more, O bright, O bright,
The chick, the chidder-barn and grassy chives
And great moon, cricket-impresario,
And, hoy, the impopulous purple-plated past,
Hoy, hoy, the blue bulls kneeling down to rest.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
