Blommetjies gets Bulls' bench spot
Clayton Blommetjies will play off the bench ahead of Tiaan Schoeman for the Blue Bulls in their Currie Cup clash against the Free State Cheetahs on Saturday.
There were initial concerns about an ankle injury that Blommetjies picked up on the training field earlier this week.
The nippy backline player was given until Friday's captains run to pass a fitness test, which he did.
