Jerry Flannery and Felix Jones have a new year project on their hands after the Irish duo were temporarily added to the coaching staff of the struggling Bulls. 

The URC and Cahmpions Cup outfit haven't fared well this term after the off-season departure of Jake White as director of rugby. After making it to last season's URC Final against Leinster, the Bulls have won just three times this season. 
Flannery and Jones are fixtures of the Rassie Erasmus brains trust with the Springboks but have now been seconded to the Bulls for some "short-term" assistance.
