Wales may be the reigning Six Nations champions but this year has not been straightforward for Wayne Pivac’s men since their triumph.

They have won just one of their last four matches, against Canada, after drawing with Argentina and losing to them in the space of a week in the summer.

New Zealand dished out some heavy punishment in Cardiff last weekend as Wales were thrashed 54-16.

The bad news just keeps piling up for Wales who will now be without Alun Wyn Jones for a “number of months” after sustaining a shoulder injury in that defeat last weekend.

The talismanic captain is now expected to miss the 2022 Six Nations and his absence puts Wales under the cosh ahead of their showdown with world champions South Africa this weekend.
