"Yep, we're still busy. There are obviously the players who have been out for a while now and then there are those who need a bit of patching up in the close season because they've been playing on through niggles."

	"With England touring South Africa at the moment, people are talking about Dan Ward-Smith and his World Cup chances. Wardy is doing really well with his rehab and we're hoping to take things up a level shortly."
	"Brian O'Riordan is coming on nicely as well. He's almost got the full range of movement back in his shoulder and we're hoping to move him onto strengthening work shortly."
	"Matt Salter is on the same programme but he's a few weeks ahead of Brian. He's been stepping up the strengthening work recently and we'll get him working on the Cybex machine in the next couple of weeks."
	"Redford Pennycook has been to see the specialist a couple of times since breaking his fibula. He's progressing fine, wearing a moon boot and taking it fairly easy which is all he can do really at this stage."
	"Nathan Budgett tore his medial ligament at Leicester on the final day. He's seen Jon Webb and everything is ok and he'll be fine in a few weeks. But we've taken the opportunity to sort out a groin problem which needed a bit of minor surgery."

"We're also doing a bit of repair work on David Blaney, Jason Hobson and Gareth Llewellyn who have had slight shoulder niggles that need sorting out."

"That's it for the time being. It's relatively quiet up here with some of the boys away on tours and the others taking a well earned break."

"So, I'll make the most of the next few weeks as they'll be back before I know it!"
