Wales may be without Weatherley

Wales flew into Johannesburg yesterday with full back David Weatherley fearing his stay will only be brief

Wales flew into Johannesburg yesterday with full back David Weatherley fearing his stay will only be brief. Weatherley injured his right knee during Saturday's 49-11 win over Zimbabwe and was expecting to be told by doctors that ligament damage has ruled him out of the South African leg of the tour.

Before heading for a hospital scan, the Swansea star said: "I am not expecting any good news.

"I had a problem with my left knee last season and I know when things are serious. I expect to be told I have to go home, which will be a massive disappointment.

"To work hard and get on a tour but then find your first cap ends with an injury like this is just devastating."
