Liebenberg ruled out for six weeks

Bulls captain Hanro Liebenberg has been ruled out for six weeks with an ankle injury sustained in the 34-20 loss to the Hurricanes on Saturday.

This means that the Bulls number eight will miss the rest of the season after scans revealed the extent of the injury.

“Hanro went for a scan this morning and will be out for six weeks,” Team doctor Herman Rossouw told Supersport.

There is also worry about tighthead prop Jacobie Adriaanse, who suffered his second concussion of the season, meaning he may well be sidelined for up to six weeks as well, as the team follows the return to play protocol.

On a positive note, Springbok Handré Pollard, centre Dries Swanepoel and loose forward Roelof Smit all returned to training with the Bulls and should be back after the June international break.
