The Bulls have suffered a late blow to their starting to face the New South Wales Waratahs, with fullback Jurgen Visser forced to withdraw from the team to take field in Sydney on Saturday night.

After initially being cleared of a foot injury, Visser's problem flared up in the team's practice on Friday, forcing the change. Ulrich Beyers, who came off the bench to play at centre in the past two games and who was not named on the Bulls bench, will take Visser's spot in the team and gain his second Super Rugby start.

Beyers's only other start - his other six caps have been off the bench - was also against the Waratahs at fullback when he replaced Visser in last year's match at Loftus Versfeld.
