Roberts ruled out after knee surgery

DRAGONS centre Jamie Roberts will miss the next six weeks after undergoing minor knee surgery. Roberts, 34, was a replacement in their opening defeat by Ospreys before missing the loss to Leinster.

“Jamie has had an operation which is going to rule him out for six to seven weeks,” said Dragons DoR Dean Ryan. “We made a decision to go for surgery and try and maximise the window in November to get him back on his feet.”
