Dragons scrum half Gareth Cooper has been ruled out for the rest of the season following a dislocated shoulder sustained in Wales’ Six Nations match against England. We caught up with him to see what the prognosis is on his injury.
How exactly did you sustain the injury?
What is the schedule for the road to recovery?
What will you do now for the rest of the season?
What do you miss most when you are not playing?
How do you keep your spirits high when you are injured?
It is difficult but I am trying to look at the positives, it is a chance to rest my ankle which has been pretty sore and it gives me the opportunity to get 100% fit and come back better than last season.
What is life like in the Welsh camp? Who do you get along best with?
I get on well with everybody, it is a good camp to be involved with and everyone gets on well. Tom Shanklin is a bit of a joker and likes to play jokes on everyone; however, he doesn’t like the jokes being played on him!
Which players do you think will make an impact in the Six Nations this year? Who do you think will win it?
What tips would you pass onto aspiring rugby players?
Just to watch as much rugby as possible and try to pick up tips from watching the game. Also train hard!
