Bulls coach John Mitchell says fullback Warrick Gelant won’t play against the Lions at Loftus on Saturday if he is not 100% fit.

Gelant withdrew from the starting XV to play against the Hurricanes, because of a knee injury and was replaced by utility Divan Rossouw.

‘We are not going to risk him if he is not right,’ said Mitchell said after his side’s 21-19 win against the Hurricanes.

‘He is the kind of guys who lets you know if he is going to be 100%. It won’t be driven by us, it will be driven more by him.

‘But I thought that Divan filled his shoes extremely well.’
