Roof caves in on Wales rugby ruse

Wales coach Graham Henry has been blocked from using Cardiff's Millennium Stadium roof as a tactical weapon against Six Nations opponents this season.

The Six Nations committee has ordered the Welsh Rugby Union to produce a policy document over closing the roof so visiting sides will be able to prepare accordingly.

The committee wants to ensure there is no repeat of the rancour in the Test against South Africa last month, when Henry kept the Springboks guessing.

Wasps' England hooker Phil Greening sees a specialist today to have his injured right knee examined. If he needs it, he will undergo an operation on Friday. Newcastle flanker Richard Arnold has avoided a ban for being sent off at Northampton last month.

An RFU disciplinary hearing, chaired by Rupert Moon, decided in Coventry last night to take no further action after Arnold had been sin-binned for deliberately killing the ball yards from his posts.
