We've had his hamstring checked out by a specialist and there's no tear but there is tightness in his back so we'll just let that settle down and have him fit and available for next week.

It's a big blow to us as a team and obviously to James personally. It's an extremely disappointing thing to happen to a young man with such a promising career.

They have been playing exceptionally well. They're a young combination developing, our lineout has been good and it's got a lot to do with Anton Oliver, who has really been hitting the mark. That combination will be crucial again.

He's a player and a man of rare quality and he'll certainly be missed.

Winning that first game (last weekend) in South Africa was very important to us.
