Clearly, this Six Nations tournament risks being a real headache for Warren Gatland, the coach of the Leek XV. Between the international retirements of many executives (Biggar, Halfpenny, Tipuric, Owens, Jones), or the departure to the NFL, to everyone’s surprise, of the supersonic winger Rees-Zammit, this gathering risks being more complicated than expected.
And more bad news could be looming for the recent quarter-finalists at the World Cup. According to the Welsh press, George North is very uncertain and could miss the Tournament. The future Provence Rugby player injured his shoulder during the Ospreys’ victory against the Lions (28-38).
If this bad news turns out to be true, it would be very bad news for the Leek XV who would lose their most experienced player (118 caps). The player will take additional exams soon, while the Galois will enter the competition on Saturday February 3 against Scotland.
