Wales dealt blow as Peel ruled out of England Test

WALES have suffered an injury blow ahead of their RBS 6 Nations opener against England with scrum-half Dwayne Peel ruled out.

Sale Sharks player Peel is due to undergo a scan today after suffering a groin injury in Saturday's Heineken Cup defeat against Cardiff Blues.

Peel has not been named in a 35-man Six Nations squad by Wales head coach Warren Gatland.
