There was a green light for Francois Venter to train on Monday, but some other Vodacom Blue Bulls players were not so lucky.

Mornè Mellett (stiffness in neck) and Jono Ross (concussion) will only train on Wednesday, Vodacom Blue Bulls team doctor Org Strauss said on Monday.

Tony Jantjies (hip) and Travis Ismaiel (knee) will be out for another week, whilst Jean Cook and Callie Visagie will be out for another month due to a thumb and ankle injury respectively.
