Davies misses out for Dragons

-

Jonathan Davies looks set to be sidelined for the remainder of Wales’ autumn internatio­nal series.

Wales are awaiting a medical update after the star centre suffered an ankle injury during Saturday’s 29-21 defeat against Australia.

Davies appeared to be in considerab­le discomfort as he was helped from the Principali­ty Stadium pitch during the dying seconds.

Although Wales head coach Warren Gatland is set to make several changes for next Saturday’s appointmen­t with Georgia, 65 times-capped Davies has been an integral part of his plans.

World champions New Zealand are Wales’ opponents on November 25, and then South Africa seven days later.

Davies was British and Irish Lions’ player of the series against the All Blacks earlier this year.

Speaking to reporters yesterday, Wales assistant coach Neil Jenkins said: “We are still waiting on Jonathan. It doesn’t look great.”
