2018 Six Nations injury list: Who’s ruled out and who is doubtful

WALES – Total players ruled out: 10

SHORT-TERM

Liam Williams – late withdrawal for Saracens before their Champions Cup fixture with Northampton having returned from an abdominal injury the previous week.

Hallam Amos – Injured his ankle on Boxing Day but has been named in the squad and appears close to a return.

George North – Made his comeback off the bench for Northampton at Saracens and January 20, suggesting he will be available for the opener.

DOUBTFUL

Taulupe Faletau  – Named in the squad despite working his way back from a knee injury, with the Bath number eight potentially available at the beginning of March.

Dan Biggar – The fly-half looks set to miss the first few rounds of the Six Nations following an injury suffered in the Ospreys’ game against Clermont Auvergne.

RULED OUT:

Rhys Priestland – Hamstring injury against the Scarlets earlier in January seems likely to keep Priestland out of the entire tournament.

Sam Warburton – Stood down for the season as the British and Irish Lions captain recovers from a knee operation.

Dan Lydiate – Out for the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury in last autumn’s win over South Africa.

Jonathan Davies – Foot injury suffered in the autumn internationals will keep the Scarlets centre out of the tournament.

Rhys Webb –  The scrum-half has been released from the squad due to a knee injury.
