Gavin Quinnell, son of British Lion Derek and younger brother of British Lion Scott and Welsh International Craig has lost the sight in one eye after a stamping incident in a game on the weekend.

Surgeons operated on him but failed to save the sight in I think his left eye.

Gavin had just returned to Wales to play for the Scarlets but in this game was playing for Llanelli RFC against Cross Keys. I can only imagine that he was playing this lower level game to get some match fitness.

Apparently he was targeted for some rough stuff throughout the game, eventually leaving the field with a serious eye injury in the 30th minute.

This won't be the last we have heard of this, a Police investigation has been launched and there is meant to be some pretty damning video evidence in the hands of Llanelli RFC.
