There was initial anxiety for Tindall's well-being as the full extent of his problems became clear - a torn liver, punctured lung and internal bleeding but looks set to feature on the Gloucester replacements' bench against Heineken Cup quarter-final opponents Munster at Kingsholm.

Gloucester head coach Dean Ryan, though, revealed it is a "possibility" Tindall might be involved and said: "Mike is around and out running with us. At the moment, it is a possibility. We will see how he reacts to some of the stuff we've done this week."

He added: "We have been pretty honest with Mike. If he was an option, we would think it was great, but if he wasn't then we have been running without him for a while.

"We always knew potential (recovery) time-frames could sit around this game, and then we would make a decision on how Mike felt.

"The decisions will be taken around the value we think Mike offers us in terms of experience, thought-process and impact.

"We miss Mike when he is not playing, there is no doubt about that. In terms of his maturity and experience, compared to the rest of the group, he is significantly further on.

"If we can get him as an option, then it would be of great value to us."
