Wales lose star flanker for Autumn Tests & Six Nations

Wales’ star flanker Josh Navidi is set to miss next year’s Six Nations tournament after having shoulder surgery. 

Navidi left the field early last weekend during Cardiff’s clash with the Bulls and was subsequently given the news that he would require surgery to rectify his injury. 

It was Navidi’s first game back since the Lions tour and the workhorse’s absence will be felt by Wales as they embark on a tough run of Tests commencing with the All Blacks on 30 October.
