Jonathan Davies injury 'doesn't look brilliant', says Gatland
By Christopher Devine
Wales face an anxious wait to discover the extent of an injury to Jonathan Davies after the British and Irish Lions centre was hurt in the closing stages of Saturday's home defeat to Australia.
Davies left the field at the Principality Stadium on a medical cart, having been left in clear pain when he appeared to go over on his ankle.
After the match, Wales coach Warren Gatland acknowledged there was concern over the 29-year-old Scarlets back.
Gatland was quoted by WalesOnline as saying: "It looks like an ankle injury at the moment. He's being strapped up and on crutches.
"It doesn't look brilliant but we'll know more in the next 24 hours."
A key member of Wales' squad, Davies was one of the Lions' leading performers on this year's tour of New Zealand.
Wales, who went down 29-21 to Australia, face Georgia next weekend before rounding off the year with high-profile clashes against the All Blacks and South Africa.

Hard disagree. For those who want to turn rugby into league, there’s already league: a sport nobody cares about, globally speaking.
The beauty of rugby is in its variability: many different ways to win. I want to see running rugby, I want to see free flow counter-attacking rugby, but I also want to see mauls, and scrums, and lineouts, and proper breskdown battles with exciting turnovers.
There is a reason rugby is a top 10 global sport, whereas no one really gives a hoot about league. You’ve seen 20mins of a league match, you’ve seen it all.
I don’t want to see rugby degrade into 80 mins of foot race. And I don’t think, that that’s what the majority of rugby fans want.

Don’t think the Bears are legit title contenders. You can lose, but not like this. Getting bent over and pumped like this completely removes the fear factor of s team.
