Warburton set for lengthy spell on the sidelines
By Harry West
Sam Warburton will miss the Six Nations as part of a recovery process spanning four to six months having undergone surgery on a knee injury.
The Wales flanker was already out with a neck problem and the decision has been taken to correct the knee issue in a bid to restore him to full fitness next year.
"Currently sidelined with a neck injury the proactive approach taken to ensure he returns fully fit. Timeframe 4-6months."
Wales begin their Six Nations campaign at home to Scotland on the first weekend in February, and conclude their schedule by hosting France in mid-March.
Warburton has 74 caps for his country, but has not played international rugby since leading the British and Irish Lions in the drawn Test series against New Zealand in July.

“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”?
