Deon Davids, Victor Matfield and Pote Human have been shortlisted by the Bulls to become their new Super Rugby head coach.

The shortlist was announced after the annual board meeting of the Blue Bulls Company and weeks of consultation led by a recommendation panel that acted in an advisory role to the board.

Davids has impressed in getting the Kings into a competitive position in the Pro14, while Matfield, a former Bulls and Bok lock, has had assistant coaching roles at the Bulls and Lions. Human coached the Blue Bulls in this year’s Currie Cup.

A final round of interviews will be held in the next few weeks, with details regarding the appointment being made shortly thereafter.
