Phillips injury scare for Wales

MIKE PHILLIPS handed Wales an injury scare during Ospreys 25-24 Heineken Cup Pool Three victory over Clermont Auvergne at the Liberty Stadium yesterday.

The Lions scrum-half limped off in the 33rd minute with an ankle injury as Wales coach Warren Gatland looked on less than three weeks before the opening autumn international against New Zealand on November 7.

Ospreys coach Sean Holley said it was too early to know the extent of the injury and was just relieved his side secured their first win in Pool Three after seeing a 22-3 lead wiped out.
