With a little more than one week to go before a superhero-themed, pre-season double-header at Cape Town Stadium heralds the start of Super Rugby manoeuvers, here’s a look at each team’s biggest player transfers since the Crusaders won the 2018 final.

Unofficially, the Bulls’ Captain America strip won the superhero jersey contest, and the off-season acquisition of Schalk Brits, Duane Vermeulen and Cornal Hendricks drew a “Wow!” from Lions coach Swys de Bruin.

Indeed, the Bulls are the only team in the South African Conference that added more proven talent than they lost.

En hoe het hulle Superhero truie gewen? Eish, hierdie skrywers wat hulle opinies aan mense wil afsmeer asof dit feite is.

Ons het ook meer as net Lewies bygekry vanaf laasjaar se SuperRugby, daar is Mienie en Sadie ook, en ek is seker nog een of twee ander spelers.
Go LIONS!!!!!
