Bulls hit by fresh injury blows ahead of Leinster clash as Lions aim to cut errors against Zebre

BULLS centre Jan Serfontein will miss the match against Leinster with a shoulder injury.

Springbok Serfontein picked up a shoulder injury in the opening-round win against the Ospreys, while Jooste suffered a hamstring strain in the same match.

Their absence has forced coach Johan Ackermann to reshuffle his backline, with experienced centre Harold Vorster slotting in for Serfontein, Sebastian de Klerk shifting to right wing, and Stravino Jacobs starting on the left.

In the pack, Cobus Wiese’s head injury assessment last weekend opens the door for Nicolaas Janse van Rensburg, who impressed in cover, to start this Saturday. Sintu Manjezi comes onto the bench.
