Meanwhile, captain Jonathan Hogg is continuing his positive rehabilitation from a knee injury, while Pipa - yet to feature this season after groin surgery in the summer - is also making good progress.

"I can't tell you exactly how long but it'll be a challenge for him to play again this season.
"Hoggy is having the right recovery and is starting to do some training with the medical staff. We'll see if we can add him to the group next week - if not, then in two weeks.

Offering an update on Pipa, Corberan continued: "This week he's started training at a normal intensity. He still has pain but it's normal pain. We're going to speak to the medical staff and see if he can play in any games."
