“The Reds understood that he wouldn’t be back so our medical team has had control of him. We’ve had strength and conditioning up in Sanctuary Cove working with him and then we’ve flown them down here.
“He’s dropped some size, working really hard, he’s in a really good place mentally, really fresh. We were a bit anxious three weeks ago but we’re pretty confident we’ll get him there for the first Test.”

“Rob Leota finished the season with us and he’s been excellent,” said Rennie.
“We’ve got Jed Holloway, who predominantly has played lock and he could play lock for us but he’s a genuine 6 option and he’ll push close.
