Dragons scrum half Gareth Cooper will today (Monday) undergo an operation on his damaged shoulder.
Cooper dislocated his shoulder after coming on as a second half replacement in Wales' Six Nations match against England. Cooper has been ruled out for the rest of the season.
Speaking to the Wales on Sunday he commented, "For me, it's exactly the same process as Ryan Jones has gone through. I have to face six weeks with my arm in a sling and it will be three months before I can do any lifting. It's going to be a long process. I will be fit for next season and will be able to get in a proper pre-season for the first time in a while."
