End of the road for Tshiunza's Six Nations

Young Wales loose-forward Christ Tshiunza has fallen out of the Six Nations squad with a torn hamstring which renders him unavailable for the remainder of the tournament. 

 

He is set to return to Exeter Chiefs where his rehab will commence. 

 

"He's very disappointed. But injuries in rugby can happen," said head coach Wayne Pivac. 


 

"He brought a lot of energy, very quick around the park, very good lineout forward and only 20 years of age which is the scary part. 


 

"We feel for him but you've got to look at the positives. 

 

"As I said to him, at 19 he was selected for a second campaign on the bounce. Not too many people have achieved that. 

 

"He'll go away and work hard to get himself back on the park as soon as he can."
