Rudy Paige
Vodacom Bulls halfbacks Rudy Paige and Jacques-Louis Potgieter will not be considered for Saturday’s Vodacom Super Rugby match against the DHL Stormers in Cape Town due to injury.
Paige has a grade 1 medial ligament tear and will be out of action for at least 2 weeks, whilst Potgieter have a grade 1 hamstring tear and will be ready to return to action on 4 May, team doctor Org Strauss confirmed on Monday.
Burger Odendaal (hamstring), Bjorn Basson (knee), Flip van der Merwe (knee) and Arno van Wyk (bronchitis) sat out in training on Monday, with Odendaal only returning Thursday.
Basil Short (calf) will sit out training this week.
Victor Matfield (knee, 4 May), Pierre Schoeman (knee, 15 July), Bandise Maku (pectoral, 31 July), Carlo Engelbrecht (ankle, 31 May), Werner Kruger (ankle, 11 May), Duncan Matthews (knee, 31 August), Ruan Steenkamp (knee, 31 July), Ryan Nell (knee, 31 August) remains on the long term injury list.
big blow for the Bulls and for Paige
@ MacroBull:
Indeed, he is taking a lot of pressure off Pollard due to the fact that he has such a good kicking game. It is probably a bigger loss to the Bulls than the loss of Kobus van Wyk is to the Stormers.
