Josh is likely to out with injury for six months PEMBROKESHIRE’S Josh Macleod is likely to be sidelined for six months after he cruelly missed out on his first Wales cap through injury - after initially being selected to face Scotland at Murrayfield. The Scarlets man, a former pupil at Ysgol Bro Gwaun in Fishguard, was originally chosen for the side to face the Scots at blindside flanker, after teammate Dan Lydiate was injured against Ireland. Instead, Aaron Wainwright came into the back row to line up alongside Justin Tipuric and Taulupe Faletau, with Josh Navidi also ruled out through injury, after replacing Lydiate in the opening game.
Unlucky does not really come close to explaining how young Josh Macleod must feel right now. The 24-year-old Scarlets flanker must think that he is simply fated never to appear for Wales.He was
AFTER missing out on his first Wales cap through injury in the autumn, rugby player Josh Macleod says he is keen to do Pembrokeshire proud at this year s Guinness Six Nations Tournament. Undaunted by being the only uncapped player in Wayne Pivac’s 36-man squad, the Scarlets back row forward savoured his first week with the Wales squad, prior to their opener against Ireland. The 24 year-old, who is a former pupil at Ysgol Bro Gwaun in Fishguard, was named in the Autumn international squad last year - but unfortunately didn’t feature because of a hamstring injury. The first week in the Wales camp was excellent - it’s a week longer than I managed in the autumn, so I was delighted to get another shot this time around,” Macleod said in his WRU column.

We’ve had Welsh internationals born in some pretty far flung, exotic locations over the years.
There has been Moascar, Egypt (Graham Price), Mufulira, Zambia (Dafydd James), Johannesburg, South Africa (Ian Evans), Tofoa, Tonga (Taulupe Faletau), Nairobi, Kenya (Stuart Russell) and Rheindahlen, West Germany (Paul Thorburn).
But we’ve never had one born in Monaco before.
