Injury woes for Wales

21 Jun 2010

Centre Andrew Bishop has been ruled out of Wales’ second Test against the All Blacks while flyhalf Stephen Jones might also sit out.

Bishop broke his hand during Wales’ 42-9 defeat to the All Blacks in the first Test in Dunedin and will be out of action for at least a month. His replacement will come from within the squad.

‘Andrew has a spiral fracture to the third metacarpal bone in his right hand. The injury is not complex but he is in plaster and will be out of action for the next four weeks,’ Wales physiotherapist Mark Davies told stuff.co.nz.

Wales will be hopeful that Jones will be able to recover from his hand injury in time for the clash in Hamilton on Saturday.

‘Stephen has a sore thumb and he has been X-rayed, but the initial results are inconclusive and we are arranging for a further scan to fully determine the extent of the injury,’ said Davies.

    How many times has Stephen Jones played and lost to NZ ? It must be close to 15 Tests with Wales and Lions.

    And, still, the message is not quite getting thru.
