De Jager out of Cheetahs clash

The big lock suffered a concussion in his debut match for the Pretoria franchise against the Stormers last Saturday. 

He is in a stable condition and will follow World Rugby's Return to Play protocol on the sidelines.

The Bulls also announced that three of our players on the long-term injury list, Arno Botha, Jannes Kirsten and Adriaan Strauss have resumed selected team sessions. However, they will not be available for selection this week.

Jan Serfontein and Martin Dreyer have resumed full training and both players will be available for selection this week.
