Injury blow for Kings

Lock Schalk Oelofse is also nursing a concussion picked up during the encounter and will not be available for the Round 10 trip to Argentina.

Davids said Oelofse would be evaluated by the medical team on an ongoing basis in line with the head injury protocols and would only begin training again once he was cleared by the medical team.

The Kings have been relieved by the return of hooker Edgar Marutlulle and Sti Sithole, who picked up a knee and elbow injury respectively during their Round Six fixture at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium against the Bulls.
