Apparently he'll be taking part in preseason as normal
He dislcated his shoulder playing towards the start of the season (possibly in the home HEC match against Cardiff) - it was a really bad one though, as it smashed through the bone of the socket rather than popping out, so he had surgery on that, and then had to have surgery on the other shoulder as well. He was supposed to be back in time for the 6N but rehab took way longer than they originally though, so they said he'll be fit for pre-season matches
