Injury Nightmare Continues for Usasz

The injury nightmare continues for scrum half Tim Usasz after damaging his hamstring once again in Sunday's 16-21 defeat against Bristol.

The 26-year-old returned to action after six weeks on the sidelines with the same injury but after just 10 minutes was forced to leave the field once again.

He said: "I am absolutely gutted to have done the same thing. It's massively frustrating for me.

"I had been training in the week and my hamstring was feeling fine and I had passed fitness tests and was raring to go.

"The last six weeks have been awful and I am devastated to be missing out again. I just got into the wrong position and I felt it go again."

The USA Eagles international may miss the rest of the season as a result of the injury.

He said: "I am hoping I will be able to get back before the end of the season but six weeks takes me to the final play-off game against Exeter, so I guess we'll see.

"It's the worst time to be missing games, with such an exciting few weeks on the horizon.

"I will be working with the physios and medical staff to get myself back up to full fitness and we will just have to wait and see."
