Injury Blows For All Blacks And Wales

Monday, 21 October 2019 at 12:58

World Cup injury update

New Zealand and Wales have both suffered blows ahead of their World Cup semi finals.

The All Blacks will be without Matt Todd for this weekend's last four game with England.

The flanker - who scored a try off the bench in the hammering of Ireland - suffered a recurrence of a shoulder injury late in the game.

Meanwhile Wales flanker Josh Navidi will miss their final two games after suffering a grade 2 hamstring injury.

Warren Gatland is yet to confirm who is joining the squad as an injury replacement, but says it will be a back, rather than another forward.


World Rugby has opened an investigation into South African referee Jaco Peyper, after he was pictured mocking the red card he awarded to France's Sebastien Vahaamahina.

The France second row was sent off during yesterday's quarter-final defeat to Wales for an elbow on Welsh flanker Aaron Wainwright.

In the picture Peyper's elbow is raised into a fan's chin hours after the game.
