Vodacom Bulls titness Report after Round 10:
Vodacom Bulls scrumhalf Piet van Zyl picked up a knee injury and will not play against the Western Force in Perth on Saturday, the last tour match of their 2014 overseas tour for the Pretoria team.
Van Zyl left the field against the Waratahs in Sydney last weekend and will be out of action for two weeks, Vodacom Bulls team doctor, Org Strauss, said on Monday.
Good news is that both Akona Ndungane (knee) and Jurgen Visser (foot) has been declared fit to face the home side in the nib Stadium. Ndungane’s availability will result in Francois Hougaard moving back to the base of the scrum.
The Vodacom Bulls is also awaiting the result of Flip van der Merwe’s citing, as this will determine his availability for the match.

Vodacom Bulls fiksheidsverslag na Rondte 10:
Die Vodacom Bulls-skrumskakel, Piet van Zyl, het ‘n kniebesering en sal nie Saterdag teen die Western Force in Perth kan speel nie. Die speler het sy knie teen die Waratahs beseer en sal twee weke buite aksie wees, het die Vodacom Bulls se spandokter, Org Strauss, Maandag in Perth gesê.
Goeie nuus vir die Vodacom Bulls is dat beide Akona Ndungane (knie) en Jurgen Visser (voet) van hul beserings herstel het en oorweeg kan word vir die wedstryd in die nib Stadion.
Ndungane se beskikbaarheid sal beteken dat Francois Hougaard weer skrumskakel toe kan skuif.
Die Vodacom Bulls wag nog op die uitslag van Flip van der Merwe se uitwysing vir ongeoorloofde spel. Die uitslag daarvan sal bepaal of die slot teen die Force kan uitdraf.
Piet van Zyl has been a mere shadow of what he used to be, so I do not see this as much of a hamper for the Bulls… but Hougie would have to return to starting scrummie!
