Wales international Baldwin sustained a hand injury that required stitches when he made the mistake of trying to stroke the animal last Wednesday, during a visit to a game lodge ahead of his team's match in Bloemfontein.

Baldwin was criticised by Ospreys coach Steve Tandy, who said: " When you put your hand in a fence where there is a lion, then you will get bitten. It was pretty stupid on Scott's behalf and he is pretty lucky.

" It's probably one of the silliest things I've even been involved in, but thankfully he is okay and hopefully he will be back up and running in the next couple of weeks."
