Liam Williams could miss Six Nations- reports
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.

It is so good that we now all get excited and debate who is best and emotionally get involved. We all back our teams which is great. Up until about 15-20 years ago, NZ was basically on its own, and then Saffa, Aussie and sometimes French and English were there. We now have at least 5-6 really top sides and another 4 who keep improving. This is so healthy. So we should not resort to rubbish comments and unhealthy debate, but rather all be chuffed that the product we watch is not competitive, exciting and often uncertain. It would be so good if World Rugger could find a way to align the rules to professional players as well as spectators. Live rugby games are SO boring as there is SO much down time as we wait for refs and TMOs and whoever else to look at every small event going back endless phases with the hope of eventually find a minute infringement to then decide cancel what was a wonderful try. This is the ultimate cork back in the bottle moment and feels like every balloon is always being popped. Come on- we must be better with the rules.
Go to comments“upon leaving said establishment I tripped over a stool knocking some bottles into the air and as I fell I accidently dislodged a police officer’s teaser who was passing by on an unrelated matter there by landing on said taser which caused it to discharge 50,000 watts into me. Out of shock I shouted Ireland are going to win the world cup. Upon waking up I apologised for the distress caused by my Ireland comment. The matter is closed. If you wish to pursue this matter may I remind you what I told Wayne Barnes when he sent me off. I AM A BIG ASS MAN”. Or was it “I AM A BIG ASS, MAN” or was it “I AM A BIG ASSMAN”?
