Bulls sweat on Coetzee and Burger injuries ahead of derby

|December 17, 2025
THE Bulls are sweating on the fitness of influential veteran Marcell Coetzee and scrumhalf Zak Burger ahead of their Durban derby against the Sharks on Saturday (kickoff 6pm).
While the duo are not believed to be seriously injured ahead of the United Rugby Championship (URC) clash, things are looking far gloomier for flyhalf Kade Wolhuter, who appears to have picked up a serious knee injury in the devastating loss to Northampton Saints this past weekend.
The flyhalf, who joined the Bulls on loan from the Lions, has apparently damaged his MCL and is currently on crutches. He will go for scans on Wednesday and only then will there be clarity on the extent of the injury.
