The club have also provided an injury update ahead of pre-season:

Kyle Steyn has recovered from his ankle injury sustained against the Stormers and returns to full training.

During the offseason Ally Miller (back), Alex Samuel (hand) and Josh McKay (ankle) all underwent successful surgeries and are expected to be back fit for the opening rounds of the URC.

Duncan Weir (calf) and Gregor Brown (groin) are both managing soft tissue injuries and will re-join the squad later in pre-season.

Huw Jones continues to recover from a back injury sustained in Harlequins semi-final loss against Saracens and is expected to be available for the start of the URC season.

Enrique Pieretto has sustained a shoulder injury while with Argentina XV and underwent shoulder surgery on Saturday and is expected to be out until November.
