Wales suffer World Cup injury blow as Samson Lee is ruled out for six months
WALES have been dealt a major World Cup blow with prop Samson Lee unlikely to be fit for the tournament.
Lee is set to undergo Achilles surgery next week which will rule him out for six months – a timeline which stretches into September when the World Cup starts.
Aaron Jarvis will take his place against Italy on Saturday with Rob Evans deputising for Gethin Jenkins who has a hamstring strain.
Wales coach Warren Gatland is refusing to go “begging on bended knee” to Adam Jones to come out of Test retirement but is leaving a return avenue open if the Blues prop reverses his decision.
