Boo, could open the door for Jenkins or Davies I suppose.

½P out too. More surgery.

More worried about 1/2d, thats been a nasty injury for him. Hopefully its put behind him for next season.

George North also has a knee injury at the moment.

Ive just noticed the article about Tipuric's concussion lay off - I assumed when I read the initial post it was due to his desire to play in the Olympics team.

Now gutted for him to miss an opportunity like that, but if he is still showing the effects of his knock in the Italy game then a period of rest is precisely what he needs.

Bugger. Lets hope we have a decently strong team for this tour; our back 3 is looking a bit fragile at the moment with Liam Williams also looking a bit shaky post 6N.

It does say a three month layoff so not sure why he would miss out on the Olympics which starts in August, it's not as though he can't do conditioning work he just won't be able to do contact work.

The Fail are suggesting that he will miss the warm up matches, so its a no go.

It will be a real shame if the team is not at least near full strength. I've got a ticket to the first test and I don't want to have wasted my money on a development XV.

Nice to hear you so concerned about the health of the Welsh players. I'm sure they will be as equally concerned about your waste of money. Maybe they'll have a whip round for you.

He'll miss all of the 7 series so won't be able to prove himself at top level competition. I'm not sure when the squad has to be named but personally I think he'd be worth a punt if he can get himself appropriately fit. It's not like we'd be disrupting a world beating team.

If there is one forward who seems tailor made for sevens its tipuric so I agree. I'm guessing the management want to play fair though, bad luck for him.

I doubt fitness will be an issue with a concussion lay off.

Depends on the severity of concussion - some people can't run without dizzy spells. The higher degree of oxygen deprivation in 7s might be an issue.
