Overview
- Fourie left the field in Belfast during Friday’s 38-38 draw with Ulster after a croc roll by captain Iain Henderson.
- Henderson received a yellow card that was upgraded to a 20-minute red, reflecting how officials judged the clear-out.
- John Dobson confirmed medial ligament damage to Fourie’s knee, and the 39-year-old now awaits further assessment to determine the timeline.
- Dobson urged rugby to remove the croc roll, a rolling clear-out at the ruck that can torque a jackaler’s knee and ankle.
- The Stormers dropped to second in the URC and must beat Cardiff next week to secure a home quarterfinal, with Paul de Villiers stepping in off the bench.
