Sam Parry to miss start of the season

Ospreys have confirmed that Sam Parry will undergo surgery this week to repair a bicep injury suffered in pre-season training.

The hooker had been set to return to action at the start of the new campaign having missed the end of last season with a chest injury that sidelined him at the end of February.

However, following this week’s surgery he is now looking at a possible four-month lay-off.
