Bok duo Victor Matfield and Jan Serfontein returned to the training field on Monday.

Matfield is back in action after a medical procedure on his knee and will be considered for Saturday's match against the Lions at Loftus, while Serfontein, who was a late withdrawal against the Stormers due to a hamstring niggle, will also be ready to take his place.

Rudy Paige and Jacques-Louis Potgieter are still out of action due to a knee injury and hamstring strain respectively, but should be fit to travel with the team when they depart for their Australasian trip on Sunday.
