The Vodacom Bulls will be without captain Lood de Jager for Saturday’s match against the Lions at Ellis Park.

The Bok lock suffered a shoulder injury during his side’s game against the Jaguares and will be sidelined for at least two weeks.

De Jager is also set to miss the Bulls’ match against the Sharks at Loftus on 9 March.

Handré Pollard will captain the team in De Jager’s absence.
