Justin Tipuric has been dealt a heavy blow with the news that he won’t play any rugby this season because of the injury he sustained on Lions duty last summer.
The outstanding Ospreys and Wales flanker has seen his campaign wiped out before it's even begun by the scapula problem he suffered in the Lions v Japan clash at Murrayfield last June.
Ospreys coach Toby Booth said the nature of the injury hadn’t been seen in rugby before and was one that resembled more a ‘road traffic accident’.
