The decision to cancel the Bloemfontein game was prompted by positive tests in the Cheetahs team, and they have informed SA Rugby that they are not able to field a team with enough front row cover in such a short time frame, which puts player welfare at risk.
As determined by the competition rules, the Bulls will be awarded four log points because of the cancellation and the result will be noted as 0-0.
