CARDIFF, Wales — Winger Mason Grady has been sidelined for the remainder of Wales’ autumn rugby tests due to an ankle injury he sustained during the match against Fiji.
Grady had to leave the field in the 17th minute on Sunday, marking a turning point in the game as Wales saw a turnaround that allowed Fiji to come back and secure a 24-19 victory. This defeat marked a significant moment, as it was Fiji’s first-ever win against Wales in Cardiff.
Following the injury, medical examinations on Monday revealed that Grady will require surgery, leading to his absence for the upcoming fixtures.
With this loss, Wales has now experienced their 10th consecutive defeat in tests, equaling their record for the longest losing streak in the nation’s history. They are set to host Australia this weekend, followed by a match against the reigning world champions, South Africa, the following week.
