The Vodacom Bulls know their Vodacom Super Rugby season is on the line this weekend - and have called in veteran Victor Matfield to help them save it.
According to the supersport.com website, Matfield will return from injury and has resumed training in the nick of time and is likely to start this weekend when the Emirates Lions visit Loftus Versfeld in a crucial encounter for both sides.
The stark reality at the end of a long weekend is that the Bulls season is seriously hanging in the balance, with an uphill battle left if they have any hope of winning the South African conference.
