Rhys Webb out of Six Nations - WRU statement
By Peter Hanson
Wales have been dealt another injury blow after Rhys Webb sustained a knee injury that will likely rule him out of the entire Six Nations.
Warren Gatland's squad has already been decimated with Sam Warburton, Taulupe Faletau, Dan Lydiate, Jonathan Davies, Liam Williams, Dan Biggar and Rhys Priestland among those on the sidelines.
And Ospreys scrum-half Webb, who has 31 Wales caps, has joined that lengthy list.
A short Wales statement released on Thursday read: "Rhys Webb has been released from the Wales National Squad due to a knee injury.
"The injury will restrict Webb's involvement in the campaign and further assessments are required to establish the best course of action."
Uncapped Cardiff Blues nine Tomos Williams has been added to the squad.
Wales begin their Six Nations campaign at home to Scotland on February 3.

It took a whole season to wash the Foster stink out to be fair. There's still been substantial change though. I think only 7 starters from the RWC QF v IRE started the IRE test in Dublin. This year wasn't the year for full innovation, transition needs to be balanced, & incremental. The new coaches will be able to stamp their full mark on the ABs from 2025 when Razor will select his first proper squad from a mega talented player pool. Exciting times ahead.

The amount of inconsistency with the head contact law coming into the game. No red yesterday and no yellow today, but then another player gets a suspension for a side on headonhead (as apposed to these two sweet shoulders) contact last week. Happy if there is a referee change to having a bit more commensense.
