- Wasps back-row likely to be out for six to eight weeks
- Newcastle’s Dave Walder wants Premiership ring-fenced
The Wasps player Alfie Barbeary is set to miss out on a place in England’s Six Nations squad next month after it emerged he will be out for at least six weeks with an ankle injury.
Barbeary, 20, made his breakthrough last season and has picked up from where he left off this term, making five starts in the Wasps back row and scoring three tries including a fine double in the European victory against Montpellier.
