The Vodacom Blue Bulls’ team doctor Org Strauss confirmed on Monday afternoon that Fourie du Preez won’t be able to play against the Vodacom Free State Cheetahs.
Du Preez has a haematoma (a localized swelling filled with blood resulting from a break in a blood vessel) in his quad muscle that is taking longer to heal than initially expected and therefore he will not be able to face Naka Drotské’s men.
Good news is that Wynand Olivier (ankle) will start training with his team mates on Tuesday afternoon and Werner Kruger (rib) is making steady progress.
I final decision on Kruger’s eligibility will however only be made on Wednesday.

It’s a pity to have to wait for the best scrum half Jan in the world to recover, but the Bulls have excellent depth in the scrummie position.
There is no depth for Fourie du Preez
Gelukkig herstel hy nie teen die cheetahs nie
@smallies72 – I wonder if a small dose of food poisoning can be arranged for Messere Matfield, Spies, Steyn etc? Nothing too bad, just to give them a bit of spuitpoep so that they can’t play on Saturday.
@Loosehead – Daai sal werk lol
