Sarries skipper set for return
4:33pm Wednesday 13th February 2008
NEIL DE KOCK expects to lead Saracens out against Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park on Sunday after recovering from a hamstring injury.
The captain has missed the last two games, home victories over Bath and Worcester after picking up the injury in the Men in Black's historic Heineken Cup win over Glasgow Warriors.
However, the influential South African is ready to show boss Alan Gaffney he has recovered during training tomorrow.
"The injury has been niggling me and I was hoping I would be back for the Worcester game," said the skipper. "I thought I could shrug it off but it just got worse.
"I have done everything in terms of rehabilitating it and enjoyed a good run today. But the real test will be tomorrow when I give it 100 per cent and hopefully show that I am ready and available for Sunday's game."
