Vodacom Bulls hooker Schalk Brits remains under an injury cloud ahead of Saturday’s clash against the Jaguares in Argentina.

Brits enjoyed an industrious debut for the Bulls in the win over the Stormers last weekend, but had to leave the field prematurely due to a calf injury.

The Bulls confirmed on Monday that it was a precautionary move, but that Brits would need to be monitored carefully this week before being cleared to travel with the team to Buenos Aires.

In good news for the Bulls, Jaco Visagie, Jano Venter and Roelof Smit were all said to be close to a return to full fitness.
