Harri Morris, an Edinburgh hooker, has taken a plane to South Africa in advance of their United Rugby Championship (URC) matchup against the Lions on Saturday in Johannesburg.
Morris, who scored a try in Friday night’s ‘A’ team victory against Glasgow Warriors, has joined the senior team following Dave Cherry’s limping out of Saturday’s loss to the Bulls.
After the game, head coach Sean Everitt stated that Cherry was in “a lot of pain” due to an ankle injury he sustained in the first ten minutes of the encounter at Loftus Versfeld.
Everitt is still able to call upon Scotland duo Ewan Ashman and Patrick Harrison, while Morris will likely provide further cover for this week’s match.
