The Story in 60 Seconds

The Bulls have confirmed that Springbok back Canan Moodie will miss Saturday's Investec Champions Cup opener against Stade Français at Loftus Versfeld. Moodie has been ruled out of the clash after entering head injury assessment (HIA) protocols following an injury sustained during his team's recent United Rugby Championship match.

Moodie was forced off early in the second half of the Bulls' 57-15 victory against the Lions, despite scoring a try before departing. His absence is a notable blow for the Pretoria outfit as they begin their European campaign, aiming to build on previous tournament runs including a quarterfinal appearance in 2024.
