The Bulls confirmed that Pollard underwent a scan following a hamstring complaint.

His fitness and availability will be confirmed once the results have been assessed.

Fellow Bok Canan Moodie returned to training this week under HIA (head injury assessment protocols) but won’t be considered for the upcoming clash at Loftus Versfeld against Scarlets.

Junior Bok Cheswill Jooste underwent an operation for a broken cheekbone.
