Peers gets the cut

Ospreys lock, Lloyd Peers will be out of action for four months after undergoing surgery to repair damaged ankle ligaments.

The second row forward missed last Saturday's bonus point defeat against Racing Metro in Le Mans after suffering the injury during the home fixture against the Parisians the previous weekend.

"Following consultation it was decided that surgery was the treatment of choice for Lloyd given the nature of his injury.

"He's had his operation, which went well, and it is anticipated that he'll be out of action for around four months while he recovers and rehabs from the injury," Medical Performance Manager, Chris Towers confirmed.
