De Jager, Snyman boost for Bulls

Cape Town - Bulls locks Lood de Jager and RG Snyman are set to return from injury when they tackle the Sharks in their Super Rugby encounter in Durban on Saturday.

De Jager is fit again after missing the Bulls’ last match against the Stormers due to a calf strain, while Snyman has recovered from a cheekbone fracture.

Meanwhile, wing Jamba Ulengo and flank Ruan Steenkamp (both knee injuries) are back in training, but are unlikely to be considered for selection.

Loose forwards Jannes Kirsten and Nic de Jager and wing Travis Ismaiel remain on the injury list.

Coach John Mitchell will name his team on Thursday, with Saturday's clash at Kings Park scheduled for 17:15.
