Gethin Jenkins, Bradley Davies and Josh Turnbull ruled out of third NZ Test

By , Reporter
Wales forwards Gethin Jenkins, Bradley Davies and Josh Turnbull will miss the third and final Test in New Zealand due to injury.

Wales forwards Gethin Jenkins, Bradley Davies and Josh Turnbull have been ruled out of the third and final Test in New Zealand due to injury, and have flown home.

Jenkins, 35, suffered a calf injury in the 36-22 defeat in Wellington last weekend, lock Davies has a knee concern, and back-row Turnbull picked up a shoulder injury in the 40-7 loss to the Waikato Chiefs.

Steve Hansen's All Blacks have a decisive 2-0 series lead going into Saturday's game in Dunedin, while Wales have lost 28 consecutive matches against the world champions, their last win coming in 1953.

Warren Gatland will name his team for the third Test on Thursday morning.
