The Bulls have confirmed that Deon Stegmann, Jacques Potgieter and Frik Kirsten have all been ruled out of Super Rugby until Super Rugby returns from it's break in June.

Deon Stegmann has a fractured forearm and is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks of Super Rugby while prop Frik Kirsten has a hand fracture and is also expecred to miss 4-6 weeks.

The worst injury of the trio is Jacques Potgieter who has a dislocated knee cap and will miss the next 6-8 weeks.

There was however some good news for the Bulls as both Dewald Potgieter (grade two hamstring tear) and Wynand Olivier (ribs) have been declared fit to play the Highlanders this weekend.
