Rees blow adds to Welsh injury woe

WALES are continuing to play a waiting game with their injured players ahead of Sunday’s RBS 6 Nations opener against Ireland in Dublin.

But another name has been added to the confirmed list of absentees after hooker and former Wales captain Matthew Rees suffered a calf strain in training.

Rees is set to be sidelined for two weeks, which would also mean him missing the Millennium Stadium appointment with Scotland on Sunday week.
