The Bulls Daisies are a South African women's rugby union team based at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria that participate in the annual Women's Premier Division tournament.

The team are affiliated with the men's rugby team, the Blue Bulls, and the daisies in their name refer to the Barberton Daisy, which first appeared in the Blue Bulls crest in 1938.[1]

In 2023, they became the first professional women's team in South African rugby, contracting 35 players.[2][3][4]
