In today's Herald, the head coach said: “We’re still waiting for the visa process to be started. He's now back in Australia after being out in the States with the Australia squad, but he's come back early to speed up the visa process now he’s no longer with the squad.
“These things can take two or three weeks. I'm hoping for less. We have a game in three weeks against Munster and it would be great news if we could have him for that. Then the next game is a fortnight after, so if not Munster then we'd like to think he'd be here for that one.”
