Warren Whiteley has made a timely return as his team are preparing to face the Waratahs at Ellis Park on Saturday.
Whiteley was training fully and expected to make an return soon after a knee cartilage problem ruled him out of the match against the Crusaders 10 days ago.
The inspirational skipper has been on the sidelines quite a bit this season. He was out for several weeks with a chest injury prior to his latest absense.

Marx's comes back after a two week break, he returned home before the Lions could play the Crusaders as stipulated by Springbok management.
