Waino ruled out of All Blacks clash

21/11/2025

Dragons RFC ace Aaron Wainwright has been withdrawn from the Wales XV to face New Zealand this weekend, due to a hip injury. 

Taine Plumtree will start at No. 8 and the uncapped Morgan Morse joins the Wales replacements in the number 20 jersey. 

Head coach Steve Tandy said: "We’ve been managing Aaron’s training load this week. Following assessment again today we have taken the decision to remove him from playing on Saturday."

We wish Aaron well with his recovery.
