North out of Autumn Internationals

George North: Injured Northampton wing set to miss Wales autumn Tests - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/41631117

Pretty bad news for George North as he is when on form he is absolutely lethal...the upside is that it should open the door for Steff Evans and coupled with the form that Liam Williams is showing should give us some opportunities out wide.
It will be a step change from the traditional huge wingers we have had for a few seasons but we really need to explore this for the Autumn series if we are going to build any really solid plan b and c .

Probably have Cuthbert starting alongside Liam with Halfpenny at fullback.
Just can't see Gatland going with Steff to start. Hope I'm wrong, we need to mix things up.

As I was typing before I was thinking the exact same thing ...but just did not want to jinx it.. ...

That’s a real shame, he looked a bit more in form this season. If it provides an opportunity for a new player to have a go then there is a silver lining. If it’s cuthbert then it ain’t.

Bugger... Not a good start is it

Please Gatland, show a little more vision than Howley did last year.

North hasn't been North for 4 years.

Steff Evans should start all the AI games.

He started the season very well for Northampton, looking more like his old self, it's a shame a soon as he gets some form he gets injured.
