The Blue Bulls have confirmed reports about the Vodacom Bulls' defence coach John McFarland. McFarland handed in his resignation on 7 November but his contract with the Bulls was renewed, on his request, for a further three years in 2007.
That means he is contracted by the Bulls till the end of 2010 and the Bulls are not planning to release him because he is still under contract and he is arguably the world's best defence coach.
McFarland has done remarkable work with the Bulls over the last couple of years and all the senior players as well as the coaches have the highest regard for his expertise, skills and coaching methods.
However, the Bulls are open to negotiate with Leicester Tigers on the condition that they receive a formal request for his services from the English club. The Bulls and Leicester have a very good business relationship and for example they managed to strike a deal over the services of Derick Hougaard earlier this year.
