History The team was formed in 1938 when the then Northern Transvaal Rugby Union broke away from the Transvaal Rugby Football Union to gain status as an independent rugby union. The new team were simply named Northern Transvaal and donned light blue jerseys with a red Barberton daisy emblem. From their first year of existence Northern Transvaal were a formidable force in South African rugby, with many Springboks rising through their ranks. They first lifted the Currie Cup in 1946, when they beat the Western Province 11-9 at home at Loftus Versfeld thanks to two dropped goals by Springbok flyhalf Hansie Brewis and an injury time try by winger Johnny Lourens.

1968 saw the start of a golden era for Northern Transvaal rugby. Under the coaching of Buurman van Zyl they played Transvaal in the final, defeating them 16-3 at home. Many players went onto become Springboks.[1] They defeated Western Province 28—13 in the subsequent season's final. This was the match in which South Africa's player of the century, Frik du Preez, dropped, scored and placed, according to his good friend and fellow team mate, Springbok frontranker, Mof Myburgh.

They faced Griqualand West in the 1970 final, with Griqualand West winning 11—9. They drew the 1971 final 14-all at Ellis Park after an injury time conversion by Transvaal's Jannie van Deventer. In 1973 they defeated the Orange Free State 30—22 in the final. This was followed by the 17-15 win over Transvaal in 1974 in a match in which Northerns centre John Knox had a particulary strong game. In 1975 Northerns travelled to Bloemfontein to play against Freestate. 2 hours before kick-off an extrodinary rainstorm flooded the field and the players, despite playing in sunshine for most of the match, were unrecognizable within the first ten minutes after the start. The match was closely contested with the conditions playing a strong hand. In the dying seconds of the game with the score level at 6-all, Christo Wagenaar put in a chip kick that was collected brilliantly by right winger Pierre Spies (father of current Springbok and Bulls eight-man, also Pierre) and scored in the corner. Kieth Thorresson added the two extra points to a try that was to become legendary and Northern ran out 12-6 winners. Northern Transvaal defeated the Orange Free State in the 1977 (27-12) and 1978 (13-9) finals as well. 1977 saw the emergance of a young 19 year old that was to become one the games greats - Naas Botha. The 1978 final was one that was donned the Freestate backs against the Bulls forwards. Northerns ran out victors by scoring two fantastic tries by the backs, one of them by Naas Botha. They were runners-up with Western Province in 1979 after two fantastic drop goals by Naas Botha late in the second half. They won the 1980 final against Province in one of the most one-sided finals of all time scoring five tries to nil. In 1981 they defeated Freesate 23-6 at Loftus in what was marked an unsatisfactory final. Returing from New Zealand, Northerns fielded all 10 their Springboks except Theuns Stoffberg. Freestate did not field their 4 Springboks. Although not in the same line as 1980, the match was still very one-sided. This marked the end of an era for Northerns, since their highly respected coach, Buurman van Zyl, passed away early in 1982. Another shock was the loss of Springbok flyhalf Naas Botha to America where he tried out Grind Iron Football. South African rugby was to see a domination by Western Province for the following 5 seasons.

Despite not being able to achieve any success during this time (except for a Lion Cup victory over Freestate in 1985), they still managed to reach the final on 3 occassions being runners-up to Western Province in the 1982, 1983 and 1985 finals. 1983 also saw the first time they ever lost a final on home ground.
1987 saw the return of the Cup to Pretoria. Under the coaching of John Williams and capataincy of Naas Botha (returning in 1985 after his stint in America) they defeated Transvaal in the final with a legendary performance by the captain, who scored all 24 points with 4 penalties and 4 drop goals. In the 1988 final they defied all odds by beating Western Province and drew with Province again in 1989 at Newlands. This was the one finals victory that has always eluded the team and to this day The Bulls have never managed to win a final at Newlands against their greatest rivals. They were runners-up to the Sharks in the 1990 final at Loftus but won the cup back in 1991 by defeating Transvaal. Northerns, Province and Freestate ended second after Transvaal on the 1991 Currie Cup log. Due to points difference Province and Northerns had to slug it out in a first semi-final on a Tuesday afternoon and managed to do so by winning 34-21. On the Saturday they had to play Freestate in the second semi-final and after trailing at one stage 11-0 in the first half and with about 20 minutes to go by 20-9, they managed to turnaround the match and run out vistors 27-23 - fullback (and old Grey College learner) Gerbrand Grobler being the hero with 6 penalties and a conversion! The following Saturday Northern easily won the final 27-15. They also managed to win the Lion Cup (for a second time) with a record victory of 62-6 over The Sharks. The rest of the 1990's was a dismal period for Northerns. They lost alot of players to Transvaal, most notably Uli Schmidt - a legend in his own right and son of former Springbok and Northerns flanker Louis Schmidt (often called the first Blue Bull). Other players included Gavin Johnson, Rudolf Streaulie, Theo van Rensburg, Heinrich Rodgers, Johan Roux, Gerbrand Grobler and Hannes Strydom. The biggest upset came when two Northern Transvaal stalwarts for many years, Ray Mordt and Kitch Christie accepted offers from Transvaal boss Louis Luyt to coach. Christie, after being asked to leave by the Northerns administration half-way through the 1990 season, moulded the players into a great unit and achieved success in 1993 and 1994 at Currie Cup level before becoming Springbok coach to win the World Cup in 1995. Most of the players who followed him would represent his Transvall side before doing duty at a national level. With out doubt one of the darkest periods in Northerns history!
The name officially changed to the Blue Bulls at the end of 1997 season and in 1998 after 6 years of not reaching the final and some very heavy defeats at a Currie Cup level, the Bulls captained by another legend, Joost vd Westhuizen, defeated Western Province 24-20 at Loftus. With only a few minutes left in the match Province must of thought they won it when Springbok-winger Chester Williams went over in the corner, but referee Andre Watson ruled the pass from Robbie Fleck forward.
2002 was the start of the Heyneke Meyer and Anton Leonard era. They defeated the Golden Lions 31-7 at Ellis Park thanks mainly to heroics by a 19 year old Derick Hougaard who scored a try, 2 drop goals and 5 penalties for a record 26 points. The following season they defeated the Natal Sharks 40—19 in the final with most of the team doing duty at the 2003 World Cup. The Blue Bulls then won the 2004 final, defeating the Cheetahs. This was a match that saw one of the finest individual tries a final had ever seen. Ettiene Botha received the ball just inside the Freestae half and skipped and dummied his way past a legion of defenders to score a brilliant try. Free State eventually won Cup (for the first time since 1976) in the following final by beating the Bulls in their own backyard. This was only the third time ever that the Bulls had lost a final at fortress Loftus (1983 and 1990 being the other years). The Blue Bulls shared the 2006 Currie Cup with the Free State Cheetahs after scores remained locked at 28-all after twenty minutes of extra time.
Northern Transvaal competed in the early Super rugby competitions but were not very successful. 2003 saw them ending fifth and 2004 to 2006 saw them reach the semi-finals for the first time, but everytime away from home. In 2007 they reached the final for the first time and also became the first South African team to win the Super Rugby competition by beating fellow South Africans, The Sharks, in a humdinger final in Durban. Down by 13-19, they kept ball alive after the final hooter, taking it through various phases which eventually lead to a try by Springbok winger Bryan Habana. Derick Hougaard added the conversion and The Bulls ran out victors by 20-19!
Rivalries Through the years the rivalry between the Blue Bulls and Western Province has become legendary, and a clash between these two sides is one of the Currie Cups biggest rivalries.[2] The first time that the two sides met in an actual Currie Cup final was in 1946, which was also, Northern Transvaal's first final contest. The match was played at Northern Transvaal's home ground at Loftus Versfeld, and saw the Western Province go down 11 to nine. Western Province is a South African rugby union team that participates in the annual Currie Cup tournament. ...
After meeting in numerous other finals following 1946, it would not be until the 1982 season, when the Western Province would defeat Northern Transvaal in a Currie Cup final. In the 1980s the two sides met in six Currie Cup finals, with the Western Province winning three of them and one being drawn. One of the most recent Currie Cup seasons when the two sides both made it to the final was that of the 1998 season, when the Blue Bulls won by four points, winning 24 to 20 at Loftus Versfeld.
In recent years, the great rivalry between the Blue Bulls and Western Province has faded. It has been many years since the decades that these two teams dominated the Currie Cup competition and new rivalries have come to the foreground. Many Blue Bull fans actually agree that the rivalry has shifted towards Free State, especially after both teams qualified for the Currie Cup final for the third consecutive year in 2006. Statistics have shown that Loftus Versfeld currently experiences more incidents of bad behavior during Bulls home games against Free State and the Natal Sharks, than during any other games in the season, including those against Western Province.[3]
Location The home ground of the Blue Bulls is the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria, which was first used for sports in 1906, and rugby in 1908, when the site was known as the Eastern Sports Ground. The stadium was later renamed after Mr Robert Owen Loftus Versfeld, the founder of organised sports in Pretoria, and dedicated many years of his life to rugby union. The stadium at its current configuration has a 50,000 all-seater capacity, and is shared with the Bulls.[4] The stadium is expected to receive minor upgrades in the near future as it will be hosting matches at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The Blue Bulls represent the Limpopo province, the northernmost province in South Africa, as well as part of the Gauteng province, drawing all their players from these two areas.
