The Vodacom Bulls will start their 2015 Vodacom Super Rugby campaign at home and will play five of their first six matches at Loftus Versfeld, it was announced on Thursday.
After the opening match against DHL Stormers, the Bulls will play the Hurricanes and Cell C Sharks at home before travelling to Bloemfontein to face the Toyota Cheetahs.
The Bulls will tour late in the competition and will play matches in May against the Blues, Chiefs, Brumbies and Rebels.
The season commences on the same weekend of February, but concludes one month earlier to allow national teams adequate time to prepare for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, which kicks off on 18 September. As a result, there will be no June Test window in the 2015 Super Rugby season.
