Wales boss Wayne Pivac will have his fingers crossed over the fitness of Alex Cuthbert amid reports that the Ospreys winger is the latest injury doubt ahead of the tour of South Africa. According to The Rugby Paper, the 32-year-old has suffered a recurrence of a hamstring problem, with just three weeks to go until a trip that will take in three Tests against the world champion Springboks.
Cuthbert returned to the international arena after a four-year break this season, having become eligible again by moving from Exeter. He made a good impression on his comeback, particularly in the Six Nations clash with England at Twickenham.
However, he missed the Ospreys’ crucial final game of their United Rugby Championship campaign at home to the Bulls on Friday, May 20. Coach Toby Booth put that down to “a slight niggle” and said if it had been a Sunday game he might have made it.
