Cudmore to miss World Cup?

Jamie Cudmore could miss the World Cup as he struggles to recover from concussion at the end of last season.

The Canadian second row took a knock to the head during Clermont's Champions Cup Final loss to Toulon and has not played again since.

He was due to make his return during the Top 14 play-offs but a second head knock in training kept him out and he could now miss the World Cup with Canada.

According to La Montagne, he will not take part in Canada's warm-up camp, instead joining Clermont to start their pre-season where he will undergo more testing to see whether he can play at what would be his fourth World Cup.
