Spies will not fly with team
0
The Vodacom Bulls' loose forwards Pierre Spies will not get on the plane with the rest of his teammates when they leave for Australasia on Saturday but he might join them on a later stage.
The team doctor Tommie Smook is very happy with Spies' recovery and he is optimistic that the outstanding loose forward will link up with them in about three weeks' time.
"Pierre ended his medication at the end of last week and as soon as his blood is ready to take contact, he will join us. I believe it might fly over after our second game."
Meanwhile the 22 for the match against the Lions as well as four additional players, Hilton Lobberts, Francois Hougaard, Danwel Demas and JP Nel, were selected for the Bulls' tour.
Jaco Engels was not considered because of his three match suspension, but the tour party includes the two youngsters, Stephan Dippenaar and Dean Greyling.
