Justin Tipuric back in training after concussion

Wales and Ospreys flanker Justin Tipuric is back in training after missing the final two months of last season with concussion

The timeframe saw Tipuric miss Wales' tour of New Zealand and unavailable for any potential opportunity at the Olympic Games with Team GB.

But the openside, who has 43 Wales caps, is now back in pre-season training and looking forward to playing in the Guinness PRO12 for the Ospreys.

"It's good to be back in training, back in and around the place" said Tipuric. "I'm feeling healthy and enjoying pre-season as best as it's possible to.

"I was well looked after, with excellent support from both the Ospreys and the Union medical teams. My welfare was put first, in front of everything else, and that's important. I'm extremely grateful to everybody for that.

"It wasn't the nicest of injuries shall we say. It was a pretty difficult time for me, sitting in the house unable to do anything for about five weeks. I'm not a good patient at the best of times. It's nice to be able to get out and do stuff again instead of sitting, staring at walls.

"It's been a good few weeks in fairness. It's been hard work as you expect in pre-season but there's definitely a good energy about the place. Last season was disappointing by our standards and everybody wants to make sure we aren't in that place again this year."
