Vodacom Bulls prop Dayan van der Westhuizen has been ruled out for six weeks with a knee ligament injury.

Van der Westhuizen suffered a grade two knee ligament tear against the Chiefs at Loftus in round six.

Lock RG Snyman, flank Nic de Jager and wing Duncan Matthews have successfully completed their rehabilitation and will now fall in with full training. However, the trio will not be available for selection this week.

There were no new injury concerns following last weekend’s win against the Sharks.
