Dragons prop Leon Brown will miss Wales' autumn campaign after undergoing surgery for a shoulder injury.
The 25-year-old had been forced to pull out of the summer tour of South Africa due to a nerve issue in his shoulder. The injury initially didn't require an operation, but having returned to training ahead of the new season, the 22-cap tight-head has now gone under the knife.
His head coach at Rodney Parade, Dai Flanagan, confirmed that Brown would likely miss the autumn campaign ahead of the Dragons' second URC match against Munster.
