Wales boss Steve Tandy was a visible figure this weekend having been in Llanelli on Friday night, Bridgend on Saturday afternoon and Cardiff on Saturday night to watch international candidates.

Tandy is set to name his first squad for the autumn international after the next round URC games but is already having to deal with the inevitable injuries.

Cardiff lock Teddy Williams, a starter for Wales in Japan during the summer, suffered a serious ankle injury and is set for a lengthy lay-off.

In-form scrum-half Kieran Hardy was replaced in the first half for the Ospreys, though head coach Mark Jones calmed fears by declaring it was just a nasty blow to the ribs.

Ospreys captain Jac Morgan has missed the opening three games of the season with a calf issue though Jones hopes to see the Wales flanker in action this month.

“We don’t want to rush Jac back, we want to make sure he’s right, happy with how he feels and actually in good condition,” said the Ospreys head coach.

Dragons hooker Elliot Dee hasn’t played since the opening weekend of the season and Cardiff wing Josh Adams missed the Connacht game because of a head injury.

Louis Rees-Zammit’s potential Wales return looks uncertain after Bristol boss Pat Lam said he was “hopeful” the injured wing, who is still in a moon boot, would feature again before the autumn.
