WALES' TERRIBLE BLOW .....

...... FLY-HALF GARETH ANSCOMBE RULED OUT OF THE WORLD CUP! :-(

New Zealand born Gareth Anscombe's dreams of representing Wales in the Rugby World Cup 2019 is over!

Gareth sustained a knee injury during the England v Wales game at Twickenham yesterday.

Scans have revealed that Gareth has suffered an ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT injury and will be unlikely to be able to play for some time.

This is a further blow to the Wales camp who have also lost British & Irish Lions Eightman TAULUPE FALETAU to collar bone problems.

Also in the wars is Cardiff Blue Scrum Half (9) TOM WILLIAMS who has a shoulder injury and is awaiting scans.
