Liam Williams could miss Six Nations- reports

By RugbyPass
Wales full-back Liam Williams

It's being reported that Liam Williams could be a potential doubt, not only for Wales' opening match against Scotland, but for the entire Six Nations.

Warren Gatland has revealed at today's Six Nations launch that the fullback could require surgery on a groin injury.

The BBC are reporting that "Wales medical staff are hoping they can help clear the problem but, if not, he may require surgery which would then almost certainly rule him out of the rest of the Six Nations."

Williams was ruled out of Saracens' European Cup game against Northampton after failing a late fitness test on the weekend.

The news is the latest in a long line of injuries to afflict the Welsh team. They are now missing Toby Faletau, Jonathan Davies, Dan Biggar, Rhys Priestland, Sam Warburton among a number of other star names.
