Basham out for the rest of the Pro 14

Basham out for the rest of the Pro 14

The Dragons lose Taine Basham for up to 2 months after the loose forward had to have surgery to a fractured arm sustained during the game against Scarlets.


Director of rugby Dean Ryan: "I've had three myself, so it's a good eight to 10 weeks I would say. It's displaced so will requite stabilisation, so a lot depends on Taine's ability to heal."

Basham joins fellow back rowers Ross Moriarty, Ollie Griffiths and Ben Fry on the sidelines but Lewis Evans is available for Saturday's derby against the Ospreys at Rodney Parade.
