Dragons fear arm fracture to Basham

DRAGONS back row Taine Basham suffered a suspected forearm fracture in Friday’s PRO14 20-3 defeat at Scarlets.

The 21-year-old was forced off after 24 minutes at Parc y Scarlets, while Wales back Jonah Holmes was also replaced just before half-time. Dragons director of rugby Dean Ryan is awaiting confirmation of the extent of both injuries. “Taine looks like a fractured forearm but we will wait to see,” Ryan said.
