So, things are atrting to add up a bit, we seem very thin on the ground at hooker for instance, so I thought I'd start a thread to monitor the inuries and returning windows:

Daff Jenkins (knee) - 4 weeks, should be available for Fiji
Johnny Williams - Should be available for SA
Ryan Elias - Should be ready for Fiji
North - Should be available for SA
Lake (knee)- Yet to have a scan, it didn't look good he seemed very upset when he came off, no sure if that was because he though he was going to be out of the world cup or not tho, this may be a case of painkilling injections and an op further down the line
Plumtree - Looked like he'd done a shoulder, I can't see him recovering in time
Faletau - Should be available for Fiji
Owens - Should be available for the knockout stages if we get that far
Anscombe (thumb) - Should be good for the tournament if selected

Not sure if I have missed anyone out

We really can't afford any more injuries and certainly not in some positions, like 8 or 2.

We are now down to only two hookers, so I'm thinking Bradley Roberts may get a call shortly..

Jeez, good thing there's only one of these friendlies to go. We'd have no team left for Fiji if we played any more.

Cuthbert's available for selection for SA, as is Johnny Williams, according to the press briefing today.

Yeah, I'd heard that Cuthbert wa available and Williams likely to be available, I included Williams in the list.

Plumtree and Lake still in the mix for selection by all accounts:
