ROSS MORIARTY has been released from Wales’s Autumn Nations Cup squad due to injury, it was announced today.
The Dragons back-row forward, who has won 45 caps, has not featured in the tournament so far due to an ankle problem.
He has now been ruled out of Wales’s final two games, including against England in Llanelli on Saturday.
Assistant coach Neil Jenkins said: “It is a blow with Ross.
“We were hoping he was going to be OK for the latter games, but sadly that’s not to be the case. He has been a big player for us over a long period of time.”
Moriarty’s fellow back-row forward Josh Navidi has been recovering from concussion and has not yet played in the Nations Cup, while flanker Justin Tipuric suffered a head knock during the recent victory over Georgia.
“Tips is going through his protocols, as you normally would after a head injury,” Jenkins said.
“It was a pretty heavy knock on Saturday, but he seems pretty good, and we will see how he goes for the rest of the week.”
