thebulls.co.za has announced that Jaco van der Westhuyzen is on his way back to Pretoria after signing a contract with the Blue Bulls Company (Pty) Ltd on Tuesday afternoon.
Van der Westhuyzen, 31, signed a three year deal with his beloved Bulls and will join his former teammates early in January 2010.
The former Springbok has been playing for NEC in Japan for the last six years, but he is extremely excited to reunite with his family and friends at Loftus Versfeld and he is determined to make a huge contribution on his return.
“The Bulls will always have a very special place in my heart.
“I am very eager to play for them and everything I do and want to do is centered around the Bulls.
“It was a very easy decision to make and I am very excited to join up with the team.”
Coach Frans Ludeke was visibly excited about Van der Westhuyzen’s signing and said the player’s willingness to return is a huge compliment for the structures that are in place at Loftus.
“Jaco is a senior player and his experience and versatility will add great value to the team.
“He is able to play fullback, flyhalf and wing and we know that he has what it takes to be a huge asset for us on and off the field.”

In other news Lions hooker, Hans van Dyk has been cleared of any foul play. Western Province complained that Hans van Dyk was quilty of biting flanker Francois Louw.
Judicial Officer Advocate Jannie Lubbe viewed all the available video recordings and determined that the evidence did not warrant a citing.
As a result, the JO dismissed the citing.
I’m glad Wacko Jacko is back! Kirchner has been struggling in the CC.
About Hans – I see he was cleared of everything, what was all the complaining about then from WP? AC said there was “clear evidence” of Hans biting Flo?
Naand Supa !
Naand Ben my Bul vriend. Wat dink jy van Jaco? Ek is nogal bly. Ons kort nog n heelagter. Hy moet net nie loskakel speel nie.
Kan buitesenter, vleuel en heelagter speel.
In 2007 was hy ‘n supersub vir die Bulle gewees, en as die bokke weg is bring hy baie ervaring na die span.
Dink dit was ‘n wyse besluit deur die BBRU, want hy moet help om volgende jaar die CB te verdedig as die bokke weg is.
Met hom en JLP in die span, kan die jonger manne om hul ontwikkel.
Ek het gehoor Slapchips het ook gesê die BB gaan nog ‘n vleuel en heelagter bykry. So nou sal ons moet sien wie is die ander een, sal seker ‘n jonger speler wees.
O donder nie weer Jaco nie… Hy moes in Japan gebly het.
Hulle moet hom losskakel speel dat ons nog een van daardie infamous skepskoppe van hom kan sien… Nee donder ek weet nie hoe julle ouens kan bly wees oor hierdie kopie dit is waansin.
#6 vanFrancis, toemaar, MS en JLP sal hom nou mooi wys hoe om te drop, te place, en te score !
I will repeat what I said elsewhere.
I think this guy is/was a misunderstood, badly coached rugby genius much in the mould of Gaffie du Toit.
He is an asset to any team.
7@bdb – Jy moet net hoop JLP wys nie vir MS met sy wonderlike verdegiging Saterdag hoe om te score nie. Jaco van der Westhuyzen is nie ‘n aanwins vir die Bulle nie. Hulle moet net nie dat hy vir Gerhard van den Heever uit die span uit hou nie. Ek dink ook van den Heever moes die naweek gestart het voor Habana, die experience van baie tyd in ‘n Currie Cup final kan hom net goed doen.
#8 Stem saam MS ! 😉
# na saterdag skuif Habana uit, vd Heever in sy plek, en JVDW in vd Heever se plek in op die bank (JLP sal vir jou held op die bank vervang, as die Leeus toe gaan), en daar is die Bulle se S14 agterlyn (miskien sal Akona ook weer inkom, maar ek soek iewers vir FH in die begin vyftien).

Is jy n WP ondersteuner? n eerlike antwoord asb.
8@Morne – Ruan Pienaar, Brent Russell, Stefan Terreblanche, Frans Steyn, etc. Those are badly coached rugby geniuses in my opinion.
#12
Ek is Super.
Eerlik ek is.
Ek laaik julle bulle fokol! 😉
#13
Yeah, agreed.
Sal net ‘n rol doringdraad om Loftus se pale moet sit as ou Wacko Jaco weer vir ons gaan speel !
@12 – Ek f*kken haat die WP. van den Heever is in die Bulle se toekoms planne Habana nie. Morne Steyn se verdediging in die Curriebeker ‘n hele 62% van sy tackles gemaak is nie ‘n goeie omen vir Saterdag nie, hy beter daardie ou dop hou en lak. Ek dink ook Francois Brummer moes eerder op die bank gesit het as Burton Francis.
#13 is al daai ouens se rugby nie opgeneuk daar in Durbs nie ?
VanStraaten – 13
Spot on. All three Frans, Ruan and Brent were messed about a lot though. Pity huge talent all of them.
Ek is ook so bietjie verbaas met 2 aspekte van die BB se spankeuse:
1. net een (baie) onervare stut op die bank. Hoekom nie ook Engels daar nie ?
2. Francis bo Brummer ?
Maar ek sal vir Habana begin, wie weet, dalk het ons weer ‘n onderskepdrietjie nodig aan die einde.
just for the record for tose that dont know , is that the du plessis brothers have put pen to paper and extended their contrat with the sharks for another 2 years
Sharky – 21
Yes, I read that too. Very pleased about it.
#21 wat van Ludik en Alberts ?
# 23 will know within the next 2 days
Sharky – 21
Wish we got Frans Steyn to do just that too. Sharks going to miss him big time in the S14 next year.
See we have a rubbish draw too. Play Chiefs frist up at the Tank in Feb when it is very humid that time of year. Then Cheetahs then off to NZ to play Saders then off to OZ to play two games then back to NZ to play another two games. Damn why back and forward like that. Once in a country why not play all your games there then move on to the next country. All that back and forward must cost money too and that is what makes the travel so much worse for the Saffa players.
frist meant first – post 25
yup puma mate , i told so many people losing frans would come back to bite us in the ass
hell even i didnt realise how bad that bite would be
#26 dont worry we understand typonese lol
27 – Sharky, yip I too said we would miss Frans. He has left a huge gap at the Sharks and also in the Bok squad.
28 – LOL.
I am gone, Nag ou Grote.
