Injury niggles for Blue Bulls

Pretoria - The Blue Bulls have a few injury concerns following their 41-40 Currie Cup loss to the Free State Cheetahs.

Herbst’s injury is a recurring one and a decision regarding the rest of his season will be made in due course.

Gelant left the field against the Cheetahs with a knee niggle and sat out training on Monday, but was join Matthews on the training field on Tuesday.

All four players should be available for selection Friday’s match against the Pumas in Nelspruit.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
