Vodacom Bulls lock Paul Willemse will be out of action for three months following a knee injury sustained in Saturday's win over the Southern Kings, but there is a green light to the fitness of Wynand Olivier and Dewald Potgieter.
A MRI scan on Monday revealed a MCL injury to the big lock, ruling him out of action for the next 12 weeks. He will undergo an operation on Wednesday.
Olivier and Potgieter will be available for selection though after recovering from their respective knee injuries. Olivier got injured on tour and Potgieter was a late withdrawal from the side that travelled down to Port Elizabeth, but according to team doctor Org Strauss, will be considered for Saturday's match against the Waratahs in Pretoria.
Francois Hougaard will also train on Wednesday and pending his fitness afterwards, could be considered for the weekend. He has an ankle injury. Frik Kirsten (elbow), Deon Stegmann (ribs), Callie Visagie (ankle), Flip van der Merwe (chest muscle), Lionel Mapoe (foot) and Chiliboy Ralepelle (calves) all sat out of training on Monday, but will be considered for selection, Strauss confirmed.
Jean Cook (ankle) will also be back to fitness on Wednesday. Hencus van Wyk (Shoulder, 1 week), Grant Hattingh (thumb fracture, 3 weeks), Zane Kirchner (finger operation, 3 weeks) and Francois Venter (groin, 7 weeks) are all out of action for now, but Marcel van der Merwe (knee rehab) will be back in training for the first time this year.

Callie Visagie was die afgelope twee weke reserwe haker gewees en Willie Wepener het Vodacom Cup gespeel. Dit mag dalk wees dat Callie volgens sy leenkontrak eerder Super Rugby moet speel, maar ek reken Willie Wepener is heel waarskynlik op sagter behandeling om ietwat te rus van die harde wedstryde van Super Rugby en daarom by VC.

Is Wepener nie ons eerste keuse plaasvervanger haker nie?
Posted by Shannow on 22 April 2013 17:15
@15: Hoekom Wepener daar? Ek dink Callie Visagie doen 'n pragtige stukkie werk. Selfs al het hy nie haker gespeel hierdie week nie...

@2 and 3 fully agree - FL do not fix something that is working so well. Come on my Blue Boys another 5 points - everyone talking about the Cheetahs taking first spot - that is not allowed to happen. GO BULLS !!!! SUPERSTARS ON THE RUN AGAIN :)))))))))))))))))))

11: teen die Kings, nie die Chiefs nie. Posted by bendiebul on 22 April 2013 15:55
8: ons het diepte nodig, kan nie WO laat gaan nie, wat doen ons dan as JJE of Jan beseer word ? Onthou Swys Venter is ook nog 2 maande uit.

5: rugbydump.com wys 10 minute hoogtepunte, so 5 minute langer as supersport se 5 minute hoogtepunte.10: dink dit is 'n goeie idee om JP as impakslot te gebruik. Met Juandre, Arno en Spies en selfs Dewald wat in die laaste 20 minute Steggies vervang, behoort ons oorgenoeg lynstaanopsies te hê in die laaste 20. Regtig jammer oor Paul, hy het nou net begin fiks raak en nou die besering. Het baie goed gelyk toe hy opgekom het teen die Chiefs. Nou dat ons weet wie almal beskikbaar is, hier is my span:Visser Akona JJE Jan Basson Morne JanoSpies Arno Stegmann Juandre Flip Kirsten Chili Mellet R: Werner Callie JP Dewald Hougaard Fouche WO/MapoeDit sal dalk goed wees, as die ouens niggles het, om te begin met Dewald/Callie/Werner en Kirsten/Chili/Stegmann van die bank te laat speel.

Gebruik JP op nr 4 slot!! Hy gaan beslis nie meer in die 22 tal ingesluit word as losvoorspeler nie, daar is net nie meer plek vir hom nie!
Posted by Bullebakkies on 22 April 2013 14:53
Dis slegte nuus oor willemse en laat ons effe dun op 4 slot. Posted by bloukaap2 on 22 April 2013 14:46
Wynand moet nou reeds van sy kontrak vrygestel word of anders met FL hom 13 laat speel. Jammer om dit te sê maar hy kan beslis nie van die bench af `n bydrae lewer nie. Dis juis die laaste 20 minute wat jy `n "playmaker" op die veld wil hê, en dit is WO nie meer nie. Ons het genoeg jong senters wat lus is vir rugby en nog nie die stampkar ding in hulle breine ingeprogrammeer het nie. Ek is bekommerd oor ons slotte en hakers, die manne speel met beserings en die seisoen is nog lank. Posted by Bloumens on 22 April 2013 14:36
Man ek is bly dat my woorde waar word met Serfontein en JJ langs mekaar, Met JJ se spoed langs Serfontein gaan daar nog groot dinge gebeur.

Gelukkig sal Paul reg wees vir die currie cup en die ander is nie erinstig nie .Die spelers moet vandag eindlik heeltamal gerus het sodat hul lywe vars kan wees vir die thas. Ek sien uit na die game en dink ons is ook nou meer gesettle in ons span keuse en dat ons op die regte tyd begin peek.HOU BY DIE BLOU

As daar n rugby speler is wat altyd ten volle gee is dit Zane.alle beste wense gaan verdien jou ponde.Kan iemand my asb se waar ek laas Saterdag se vol wedstryd aan lyn kan kry. Posted by Theodor on 22 April 2013 13:49
Dis jammer, dit het net begin lyk of Paul begin inpas en settle. Hy was goed Saterdag toe hy opgekom het.Goeie nuus egter dat die ander nie ernstig is nie. Moet sê was nogal Saterdag teleurgestel toe Frik so gou afgaan, want die skrums was lekker stewig en het uitgerafel daarna. Daai eerste skrum het 'n ou se tone laat omkrul toe mens kon sien hoe die krag deurkom en die loskop van die Kings die aftog blaas.Geluk Frans Ludeke dat jy uiteindelik die lig begin sien het en die Tukkies en Vodacom spanne se gameplan begin naboots. Nou is dit 'n geval om net voort te behou en die vertroue by die spelers te vestig hulle kan dit doen en met Saterdag se passie in elke wedstryd kan hulle baie goed doen. Hoekom? Omdat daar baie talent by die Bulle is!!!! Posted by Paarlbul on 22 April 2013 13:47
@2: I agree fully. Olivier can come on from the bench, if needed. That way, Jan can unleash himself fully for 60 minutes.

This is a blow for the Bulls Willemse looked very good when he came on on saturday.One player i'd like to see the Bulls sign is Gerhard Mostert from Stade Francais i think he would be a very good replacement for Juandre.Frans Ludeke please don't fix something that's not broken Olivier and Dewaldt have experience but Serfontein and Botha deserve to keep their places in the starting line up.

Ek sien op sekere blogs dink die Stormers hulle toer is net so hard soos ons s'n. Al wat ek kan se is BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!Hulle is mal man. Dis seker al daai gerookde vis.
