Wales will be sweating over the fitness of two of their backliners who were sent to hospital following the team's loss to the All Blacks on Saturday.

Wales played the All Blacks in the first of two matches on tour this month and lost the first test 42-9.

Flyhalf Stephen Jones and centre Andrew Bishop were sent to a New Zealand hospital for x-rays of potential hand injuries.

Losing fly-half Jones would be an enormous blow for Wales who have not enjoyed a good run of form lately with a home loss to a second string South Africa and today's loss.
