Wales prop Lee could miss World Cup
- 162
Wales prop Samson Lee has only a "50-50 chance" of making the World Cup in September after rupturing an Achilles tendon.
Head coach Warren Gatland said the 22-year-old Scarlets tight-head will need an operation on the injury.
Lee suffered in the injury in the 12th minute of Wales'
23-16 Six Nations win over Ireland.
"It is a longer termer that could potentially keep him out of the World Cup," said Gatland.
The New Zealander said Lee was due to have an operation on Monday, but the procedure was cancelled because there was too much swelling around the injury.
