Bulls lose Visagie, Odendaal ready

Pretoria - Blue Bulls hooker Jaco Visagie will miss Friday's Currie Cup clash against the EP Kings at Loftus Versfeld due to an ankle sprain, team doctor Org Strauss confirmed on Monday.

Visagie picked up the injury in last weekend's 17-13 win over the Sharks in Durban and is the only casualty from that match.

Meanwhile midfielder Burger Odendaal, who left the field in the second half at Kings Park, only has a knee contusion and will train again on Tuesday, as will Deon Stegmann, Justin Forwood and Dean Greyling, who have minor ailments.

Dan Kriel, who played for the Blue Bulls Under-21s on Friday, has a hip-pointer injury and will only be back on the field on Thursday.

The long-term injury list remains unchanged.
