Wales suffer double setback


Wales have been dealt a blow after full-back Phil Dollman and prop Samson Lee were ruled out of their games against Tonga and Samoa.

Dollman, who is uncapped, suffered a knee injury while playing for Exeter in the Premiership final while Scarlet Lee also has a knee problem.

Taking the duo's place in the squad will be Scarlets fly-half Rhys Patchell and his team-mate, tighthead Rhodri Jones, ahead of the two Tests.

"Phil has suffered a significant injury to his knee," Wales head coach Robin McBryde revealed to Sky Sports about the recent Premiership winner's injury. "The time it occurred for him meant it was a very bitter-sweet day.

"He had the heights of winning the final with his club, scoring a try, and then he got the injury.

"Samson's knee, unfortunately, has not settled down enough to take him to the next level in training."
