Lydiate: Ankle injury

The next few days will be crucial for Lydiate as the Wales medical team monitor how the injury settles before determining how long he will be sidelined.

The medics will also James Hook reassess towards the end of this week after he damaged the AC joint in his shoulder against Samoa.

However No.8 Ryan Jones, who has yet to play in the tournament because of a calf muscle problem, continues to progress well and should be back in full training shortly.
