Pretorius to miss Bulls game?

Johannesburg - The Lions will know on Thursday whether their World Cup flyhalf Andre Pretorius will be able to face the Bulls in a Super 14 match in Johannesburg on Saturday.

The injury-prone flyhalf woke up on Monday night with a pain in his right hamstring and underwent treatment on Tuesday and Wednesday in an attempt to be ready for Saturday's important clash. Pretorius had trained with the team on Monday without any discomfort.

Pretorius is being eased back into rugby this season by Lions coach Eugene Eloff after a series of injuries that have kept him off the field more than he was on it over the past three years.
