Vodacom Bulls lock Flip van der Merwe’s hamstring strain will keep him out of Saturday’s Vodacom Super Rugby match against the Chiefs at Loftus Versfeld, team doctor Org Strauss confirmed on Monday.
Bulls Media Release
Van der Merwe was a late withdrawl from the Vodacom Bulls side to play the Sharks last weekend after injuring his hamstring in training and will not recover in time to face the Chiefs this weekend.
The rest of the squad received a clean bill of health, Strauss said.
Dean Greyling (contusion calve, Wednesday), Deon Stegmann (SC joint sprain, Wednesday), Francois Hougaard (knee spasm, Tuesday), JJ Engelbrecht (ankle sprain, Tuesday), Bjorn Basson (stomach ailment, Tuesday) will not train today as they recover from light niggles.
