Bulls dealt injury scare over Bok star after Ulster win

The Bulls suffered multiple injuries during their 34-26 United Rugby Championship victory over Ulster at Loftus Versfeld, headlined by Springbok flyhalf Handré Pollard leaving the field in the 70th minute with a hamstring injury. Backline players Sango Xamlashe and Cheswill Jooste also suffered head knocks during the second half, with Xamlashe stretchered off to the hospital and Jooste failing a head injury assessment.

Bulls head coach Johan Ackermann noted that Pollard's hamstring issue is the most significant concern among the three new casualties. Ackermann also confirmed that Springbok winger Canan Moodie returned to training following a previous concussion but remains not match-ready as the team takes a cautious approach.
