The Suzuki Griquas winger Sako Makata is locked and loaded to make his return to the field less than a fortnight after sustaining a facial fracture.
The former Blitzboks sustained a potentially serious injury during the 118-3 victory against the Border Bulldogs in his native East London.

The 26-year-old told OFM Sport that he is very fortunate to be playing already.
