Bath Rugby today gave an update on Taulupe Faletau’s injury
“Following further expert opinion, Bath Rugby can confirm that Taulupe Faletau will require further surgery on his right arm.”
Director of Rugby, Todd Blackadder, said:
“We’re gutted for Taulupe, but this is the best course of action for him moving forwards as a player.
“We will know more in terms of timeframes following the surgery, but we’re looking forward to welcoming him back into the squad.”
This means that the powerful No.8 will play no part in the remaining rounds of the Guinness Six Nations.
Wales were however boosted today with the news that Leigh Halfpenny is now available for selection.
England were dealt a huge blow today with Vunipola being ruled out for the rest of the tournament.
