Matfield, Serfontein back for Bulls
Bulls stalwarts Victor Matfield and Jan Serfontein both returned to the training field on Monday.
The return from injury of the pair will boost a Bulls team desperate to bounce back from their loss to the Stormers this past weekend.
The Bulls host the high-flying Lions in a Super Rugby match at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
Matfield is back in action after a medical procedure on his knee and will be considered for the weekend.
Serfontein, who was a late withdrawal from the match against the Stormers due to a hamstring niggle, will also be ready to reclaim his place at centre.
Rudy Paige and Jacques-Louis Potgieter are still out of action due to a knee injury and hamstring strain.
However, they should be fit to travel with the team when they depart for their Australasian trip on Sunday.
Pierre Schoeman (knee, return by July 15), Bandise Maku (pectoral, July 31), Carlo Engelbrecht (ankle, May 31), Werner Kruger (ankle, May 11), Duncan Matthews (knee, August 31), Ruan Steenkamp (knee, July 31) and Ryan Nell (knee, August 31) remains on the long term injury list.
