Others to miss out were Scott Gray and Andy Miller (Border Reivers), prop Gavin Kerr (Leeds Tykes) and stand-off Gordon Ross (Leeds Tykes).
A number of players took only a limited part in training, mostly as a result of bumps and bruises from weekend games, including Glasgow Warriors' wing Rory Lamont.
Glasgow Warriors' prop Lee Harrison and scrum-half Sam Pinder were enlisted for today's training. Edinburgh Gunners' stand-off Phil Godman and his front-row colleague, Alasdair Dickinson also took part.
