Bulls' injured stars to return for Sharks battle

John Mitchell's side was greeted with good news after beating the Stormers 33-23 at Loftus Versfeld with his squad having no new injury concerns.

Tim Agaba (tonsillitis) and Travis Ismaiel (back niggle), who were both late withdrawals from the matchday squad last weekend, are both recovering and should be available for selection after this weekend's bye.

There is more good news as Rudolph Snyman, Lodewyk de Jager and Nicholas de Jager have completed their respective rehabilitation programmes and should be available for selection after the bye weekend.

The Bulls have two wins from their six matches played so far and they are currently fourth in the South African Conference.
