Bulls flanker Deon Stegmann will be available for the clash against the Blues at Loftus on Saturday after overcoming a groin strain picked up in January.

The return of Stegmann is positive news for the Bulls, who are now without injured loose forwards Pierre Spies (six months) and Arno Botha (five months).

Meanwhile, Jono Ross and Frik Kirsten sat out of training on Monday with quadricep and back injuries respectively, and will miss Tuesday’s session too.
