Scarlets suffer backrow injury blow
By Online Editors
Scarlets have today confirmed that flanker James Davies will undergo surgery on his shoulder tomorrow.
The surgery is to repair damage sustained to his shoulder last season and will keep him sidelined for twelve weeks.
Despite initially trialing a period of rehabilitation the injury hasn't improved to the level required to function and cope with the demands of competition and therefore requires Davies to go under the knife.
The loss of the backrow is a major blow for the Champions, with Davies playing a pivotal role in last season's campaign.
The younger brother of centre Jonathan Davies, 'Cubby' has earned a reputation for his breakdown work and his abilities in the loose. Davies featured for the silver medal winning British 7s team that competed in Rio in last year's Olympics.

It’s going to be Scott Barrett. He’s the coaches mate and captain of a previously elite team. Ardie a great option but scooter has worked with the coach and Ardie still as big a leader as needed.
Go to commentsI commend Colin Scotts bio All Balls. He was the first Aussie to make it to NFL. But he was poached and did a full apprenticeship at the University of Hawaii. He was 130kgs surfed played 1st grade cricket etc. big guy by normal but not NFL standards and a top athlete. Even then the nfl were picking up Tongans and Samoans for their natural size and explosive power. They want explosive power not cardio from the big boys so a guy like Taniela Tupou would have been good if picked up young enough. He has fast twitch and they’d bulk the little lad up and give him something to do. soccer teams set up academies and look for Over Sara’s talent eg Messi was at Barcelona since a teenager and harry kewell went to Leeds as a teenager like 16 or something.
