Sam Costelow: Scarlets and Wales fly-halfs ruled out of Six Nations

Wales and Scarlets fly-half Sam Costelow will miss the Six Nations after suffering a broken collarbone in his club’s Challenge Cup defeat against Gloucester.

The 24-year-old wore the number 10 shirt for Wales in their final match of 2024 against South Africa.

Costelow was forced off the field after just 11 minutes at Kingsholm last Friday night and has been ruled out for up to three months as he prepares for surgery.

He has been replaced by fellow Welsh international Ioan Lloyd, who started at full-back.

Wales manager Warren Gatland names his Six Nations squad on Monday and the opening match against France in Paris on Friday, January 31.
