Province pay dear price for loss
Forwards Oliver Kebble and Chris van Zyl both suffered injury setbacks in the Loftus Versfeld battle.
Kebble has a hamstring niggle and is doubtful for the Round Four Currie Cup trip to Bloemfontein on Friday – where they meet the Free State Cheetahs.
Van Zyl took a bang to his knee against the Blue Bulls at the weekend and is definitely out of the match.
* Meanwhile scrumhalf Nic Groom will be playing for the Barbarians in the United Kingdom this week and will not be available for the Cheetahs clash.
Scrumhalf Louis Schreuder (hamstring) has returned to full training and is available for selection this week.
Utility forward Jurie van Vuuren (shoulder) is back at full training, but will be available for selection from next week only.
Province coach John Dobson said they will look to bounce back against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.
"The guys were absolutely devastated in the changeroom afterwards, which, I guess, is a good sign for me as a coach," Dobson said.
"We have plenty to work on, it goes without saying, but we need to move on quickly and fix the mistakes we made in what is a short week.
"We know it's a hard game against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein, but we need to bounce back with a good win.
"Another defeat would put us in a hard position, so we need to win this one and push for that bonus point."
