DHL Stormers flyhalf Jean-Luc du Plessis has been ruled out for four to six weeks with a groin injury.

The 22-year-old playmaker underwent scans on Monday, which revealed that he has a bone stress injury to the pubic bone, complicating the recovery from his groin strain.

There were no new injuries sustained in the 41-10 Vodacom Super Rugby Round Three victory against the Southern Kings in Port Elizabeth.
