Huge blow for the reigning champions.

Scarlets have today confirmed that flanker James Davies will undergo surgery on his shoulder tomorrow, Friday 8th September.

The surgery is to repair damage sustained to his shoulder last season and will keep him sidelined for twelve weeks.

Despite initially trialling a period of rehabilitation, the injury hasn’t improved to the level required to function and cope with the demands of competition and therefore requires Davies to go under the knife.

We wish him all the best in his recovery.
