Update from Melbourne

The team are in high spirits and spent Monday analysing the previous game as they begin preparations for Friday’s clash against the Rebels.

On the injury front the team suffered a blow when scrumhalf Dewaldt Duvenage was forced to return home after suffering an ankle injury on Saturday. He has been replaced by Louis Schreuder who has already flown out to Melbourne to join the squad. Schreuder joins Earl Rose who also met up with the team today having been called up as cover for the flyhalf position.

The team are back on the training field tomorrow, before they enjoy a team dinner tomorrow evening.
