Davids confirmed that both starting locks, namely captain Steven Sykes and JC Astle, who had sustained light concussions during the game against the Vodacom Bulls, were still being evaluated and a call would be made around their availability on Saturday .

“Both are still being evaluated in line with the head injury protocols by our medical team,” he said.

Davids said he was hopeful that both would be available.
