Wednesday Round Up

Wednesday Round Up

Wales side to face England remains unchanged

Head Coach Warren Gatland expressed his satisfaction with the team he selected to go up against France in Round 3 and has made no changes to the starting side.

Gareth Davies retains the scrum-half spot with Rhys Webb named among the replacements.


"We've named a pretty experienced side for Saturday," said Gatland, “"There is a huge amount to play for … and it will go a long way to deciding the Six Nations.”

Injury weakens Stormers already stretched fly-half base



The team confirmed that Robert du Preez will be out of action until June at least due to a grade two to three MCL and partial PCL knee injury sustained last weekend in the second half of the Stormers’ 20-10 win over the Cheetahs.

 

Jared Payne available for selection



Utility back Jared Payne is back in contention after injury.

Head coach Joe Schmidt would be happy to have him start this weekend in either the 13 or the 15 jumper, however the current partnership between McCloskey and Henshaw is doing well which may see him start at fullback.
