Wales captain Dewi Lake a major doubt for Six Nations after biceps surgery

Hooker expected to be unavailable for up to 12 weeks
Coach Warren Gatland left with a selection dilemma

Dewi Lake is in danger of missing the Six Nations after having biceps surgery.

The Wales captain suffered the injury in training with Ospreys before Christmas and on Monday the region’s head coach, Mark Jones, was able to give a more accurate prognosis. He revealed the 25‑year‑old hooker could be out for as long as 12 weeks, which would rule him out of the entire Six Nations.
