Ball suffers dislocated shoulder, Tipuric out of Springboks Test
By Peter Thompson
Jake Ball is facing a lengthy absence after dislocating his shoulder and Justin Tipuric has also been ruled out of Wales' clash with South Africa on Saturday.
Scarlets powerhouse Ball was carted off in the first half of a 33-18 defeat to New Zealand last weekend and will undergo surgery to repair the damage.
Tipuric suffered a quad injury in the loss to the world champions and the back-row has been released from the squad to be treated by Ospreys.
Wales also have an injury concern over scrum-half Rhys Webb, who is going through concussion protocols after taking a blow to the head against the All Blacks.
Centre Scott Williams is another Wales player who is a doubt to face the Springboks, having injured his ankle.

The Crusaders just had a mass exodus of veterans. They need to replace that lost experience, at least until the younguns get up to scratch. Nothing to do with the player pipeline, just NZR letting excellent talent and experience ship off overseas.
