Former Wallaby coach Eddie Jones is in Pretoria where he will have a number of consulting sessions with the Bulls' coaching staff.

Jones, who is currently working as a consultant for Saracens in England and had a similair role with the World Cup winning Springboks, is making his second visit to Loftus Versfeld this year in the hope of turning the Bulls' season around.

The former Reds and Brumbies coach will be in South African's capital until Wednesday.

Embattled Bulls coach Frans Ludeke said Jones will be helping them with a review of the first part of the Super 14 and they will also scrutinize the Bulls' tour games.

“We started to work with Eddie on Monday and we will discuss a number of technical and game related issues ” Ludeke told the Bulls website.

“He is working with the coaching staff but he will this time be involved with the on-field coaching.”

The Bulls arrived in South Africa on the weekend and will only regroup on Wednesday but there will not be many changes to the team that played against the Western Force on Friday.

Ludeke said that all the players that were on tour are available for the match on Saturday at Loftus against the Hurricanes but squad members like Hilton Lobberts, Danwel Demas, Francois Hougaard and Stephan Dippenaar will be allowed to play Vodacom Cup rugby.
