Jacques Potgieter has been ruled out of the Bulls' match against the Jaguares on Saturday due to a hamstring strain.

The loose forward, who had only returned to action last week against the Sunwolves following a previous injury, will now sit out a crucial game in the Bulls' season.

In other injury news, Jacobie Adriaanse is still suffering from a concussion, and a call on his availability for selection will be made later in the week.

John-Roy Jenkinson, Ruan Steenkamp, Dries Swanepoel, Arno Botha, JT Jackson and Jonny Kotze all still remain on the Bulls' growing injury list, but coach Nollis Marais has confirmed centre Ulrich Beyers is back in training, and prop Conraad van Vuuren will return next week.
