Liam Belcher: Wales hooker relieved to be back for Cardiff after ‘scary’ nerve issue

Wales hooker Liam Belcher is glad to be back to full power with Cardiff after a “scary” injury that saw him lose the feeling in his arm.

The 29-year-old front-row forward featured in the autumn Tests against Argentina and Japan until being sidelined by a nerve issue.

The hooker returned to captain Cardiff against Scarlets in the United Rugby Championship (URC), providing some cheer in a frustrating 21-17 loss.

“It was a concerning one, I’d never had it before,” said Belcher.

“It was a bit scary losing power in your arm, then it hit the tricep and went on to the forearm and grip.

“The only positive I can take against Scarlets was that I got through okay and there weren’t any repercussions.”
