The Super Rugby Bulls are investigating the possibility of fraud by a former employee. In a statement to @rugby365com, Blue Bulls Company CEO Alfons Meyer confirmed that an investigation is underway.

“The Blue Bulls Company acknowledges that we are aware of allegations of fraudulent activity against former BBC employee and high-performance manager Xander Janse van Rensburg,” Meyer said in the statement.

He revealed that it’s a broad investigation into allegations of fraud. Meyer declined to elaborate on the details of the investigation, but said it involves a “broad range” of issues. However, unconfirmed rumours suggested it involves the payment of players at “above market” rates and “kick-backs” involving agents.

Some reports suggested it could involve criminal charges, but Meyer said he was “not aware” of criminal charges at this stage. “More than that I can’t comment,” the BBC CEO said.

The Bulls’ equity partner, Remgro, has been dragged into the investigation through their 50 per cent shareholding in the BBC. Janse van Rensburg was not available for comment.

On the pitch, the Bulls are looking to “set the record straight” when they host the Reds in a round nine Super Rugby encounter in Pretoria on Saturday. The Bulls appear all-conquering when facing South African opposition, but have yet to beat teams from outside the Republic this year. Even worse, they have not won in New Zealand since 2013 and last won in Australia in 2016.

The Bulls got their season off to a flying start with a 40-3 demolition of the Stormers and have also smashed the Lions (30-12), while beating the Sharks home (37-14) and away (19-16). However, they have lost twice to the Jaguares (12-27 in Buenos Aires and 20-22 in Pretoria), while being hammered 56-20 by the Chiefs in Pretoria.

It was last week’s ill-disciplined performance against the Jaguares that rankled most with the Loftus Versfeld fans. Seasoned centre Burger Odendaal admitted the players were “down in the dumps” and it will be tough getting over that game. However, they are not about to hit the panic button and they certainly don’t have a mental block against foreign teams.

“We spoke at the beginning of the season and I think it was Polly [flyhalf Handre Pollard] who said that in four years he hasn’t won a game overseas,” Odendaal said. “So it really is something we are working on. “It is coincidental that we haven’t won against an overseas side at the moment, but the game against the Chiefs was really an off day for us.”

TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY IS A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY


It was a cold morning when I first realized the full extent of my loss. I had invested 150,000 euros into an online crypto platform, believing in their promises and the allure of quick financial success. But as the days passed, I discovered it was all a scam. My money was gone, and with it, my dreams of financial security.

The feeling of helplessness and devastation was overwhelming. I tried everything to recover my funds contacting authorities, searching for solutions online, and connecting with others who had been through similar scams—but nothing seemed to work. I felt completely lost, as though there was no way back.One Sunday, feeling utterly defeated, I decided to visit Grace Church in Dublin, Ireland. I was searching for some peace and comfort. During the service, I shared my story with the congregation, explaining how I had been scammed and lost everything. I didn’t expect much—just a chance to speak to someone.

Afterward, a fellow parishioner came up to me. He had been listening closely, and after hearing my situation, he shared that he had once been in a similar place.

He had fallen victim to a scam too, and like me, thought his money was gone for good. But someone had recommended a service called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY to him. He decided to reach out to them, and with their help, he had managed to recover his lost funds.

He suggested I contact them, believing they could help me too.

Though I was skeptical, I was also desperate, so I wrote down their contact information. That evening, I called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY. From the moment we spoke, I felt a sense of professionalism and empathy that I hadn’t encountered before. They didn’t treat me like just another case. They listened to my story, took my concerns seriously, and reassured me that they would do everything they could to help.The recovery process was detailed and transparent. They kept me updated regularly, explaining each step they were taking. Weeks passed, and though I was anxious, I held onto hope. Then, out of nowhere, I received the incredible news: TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY had successfully recovered 95% of my 150,000 euros. It felt like a miracle. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks to the team at TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was able to regain my financial footing and rebuild emotionally. I’m now more cautious than ever, but I’m also deeply grateful.

Without the kind recommendation from that parishioner at Grace Church, I would never have found the help I so desperately needed.

Today, I’m on the path to full recovery, and I can confidently say that TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY gave me a second chance.

Their dedication and expertise truly made all the difference in my life.
