Vodacom Bulls flyhalf Johan Goosen is facing weeks on the sidelines after suffering another knee injury during his team's victory over Stade Francais. Bulls coach Jake White expressed hope that the injury is not a ligament tear, but a scan on Monday will confirm the severity. Goosen's absence creates an opportunity for other players like Boeta Chamberlain, who scored a try, two conversions, and a penalty in the match.
Vodacom Bulls flyhalf Johan Goosen faces weeks on the sidelines after suffering another knee injury at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
Goosen left the field in the 27th minute of the Investec Champions Cup pool match against Stade Francais, which the Bulls won 48-7 to qualify for the second-tier Challenge Cup playoffs. “I just asked the doctor and he said at the moment it is very difficult because it is swollen,” Bulls coach Jake White said at the post-match press conference.So he will go for a scan on Monday and see, but he’s got knees like crystal – he has had lots and lots of knee injuries.“I am hoping that it is something like a meniscus or cartilage as opposed to a ligament, but I can’t speculate now until he has the scan.
“ creates an opportunity and a chance for someone else,” White added. “Whether we play Willie at 10 or Jaco or Boeta – we’ve even got Keagan Johannes. So it just depends on what combination we will go with.”Whether you're traveling to catch a rugby game or just looking for a reliable ride, finding the right car is crucial.
