Speaking of the injury, Cardiff Blues Head of Medical John Miles said,
“Sam suffered a grade three tear to his left hamstring in the second Lions test against Australia on the 29th of June”
“He has had a scan with specialists in London yesterday which has shown the injury is already healing. He therefore does not need surgery but will require a period of rehabilitation between 12 to 16 weeks from the date of the injury.”
