Western Force coach Michael Foley says he is likely to wait another fortnight before recalling skipper Matt Hodgson.
Hodgson initially targeted Saturday’s home clash with the Cheetahs as his return date from a torn hamstring.
But Foley says the 33-year-old is now more likely to return for the April 24 showdown with the Chiefs at Waikato Stadium.
The Force will be aiming to snap a six-game losing streak when they front the Cheetahs at nib Stadium.
