Bulle need Gelant back ASAP. I also wonder how Agaba will do - he should be played off the bench for a starters. He could add a lot to the pace of the loose trio and can run like a back. Definitely wort playing him and seeing if he is up to the physicality of Super Rugby. At 106 kg he has the size and I like think he could do well. The attacking ability of Gelant and Agaba mig ht be a huge boost for the Bulle. We shall see.
Pretoria - Bulls captain Burger Odendaal and fullback Warrick Gelant are injury concerns ahead of Saturday’s Super Rugby derby against the Lions at Loftus Versfeld.
Midfielder Odendaal is nursing a bruised rib while, Gelant - who was a late withdrawal before the Hurricanes game - has a knee niggle.
A decision on both players' availability will be made later in the week, the Pretoria franchise announced.
Meanwhile, utility forward Jannes Kirsten and scrumhalf Rudy Paige are busy with their respective rehabilitation programmes and should be cleared next week, while wing Jamba Ulengo, centre Franco Naude and loose forward Ruan Steenkamp remain on the long-term injury list.
On a positive note, locks Aston Fortuin and Jason Jenkins and loose forward Tim Agaba have recovered from their respective injuries and will be available for selection this week.
