Allen adds to welsh injury woes

Wales centre Cory Allen is set to miss the rest of the World Cup after injuring his hamstring in the opening 54-9 win against Uruguay.

Allen scored a first-half hat-trick but was taken off in the second with a "significant" hamstring injury, said Wales head coach Warren Gatland.

Samson Lee and Paul James also left the field with tight calves, while fellow prop Aaron Jarvis injured his ribs.

But full-back Liam Williams' thigh injury is not thought to be serious.

Flanker Dan Lydiate was also taken off to be assessed for a head injury, but the British and Irish Lions player passed the head injury protocol tests.

"It looks like Cory has a significant tear in his hamstring and it looks at this stage like he'll have to be replaced," said Gatland.

"He will be scanned tomorrow. Liam will be scanned tomorrow too.

"Liam had a knock on the thigh but it's too early to see for next week. We'll have to wait 24 hours to make an assessment."
