Monday Round-Up
Gatland worried for North: Wales boss Warren Gatland is concerned if George North suffers another knock to the head it could end his career. North has picked up head injuries against New Zealand last November and in Wales' Six Nations opener against England in February. He also sustained a further knock while on Northampton duty against Wasps six weeks ago and has not played since. "I had a meeting with George's agent and said if I was being purely selfish I would say 'George, don't play in the last few games, get yourself right for the World Cup'," Gatland told the Sunday Times. "If he gets another knock he's going to have to be out for six months or a year."
Michalak season over: Toulon and France out-half Frédéric Michalak, will not play again this season after fracturing his hand during Toulon's win over Castres this weekend. The France fly-half was a second-half replacement in the 37-21 success but suffered the injury in the dying stages and now faces six weeks on the sidelines. That rules him out of the remainder of the Top 14 campaign, and also makes it very unlikely that he will be included in France's 36-man squad for the World Cup, which will be named next week.
