Training footage circulating of injured wing star Siva Naulago exploding out of the blocks with resistance bands on at Bristol Bears' High Performance Centre has had fans in a buzz about his potential imminent return ahead of schedule.
However, Bristol director of rugby Pat Lam confirmed today that the Fijian soldier is still on track for a late November, early December return as he works his way back to full fitness following surgery on his knee in the Spring.
Lam told BristolLive : “Siva is on track but it is one of those injuries where most of the footage you will see he is running in a straight line. “He is looking very powerful and very strong, I think he is up to 105kg now and has less body fat than before his injury. He is looking pretty lean, strong and fast."
