Wales star George North could still be involved in their opening match of the Six Nations despite undergoing surgery for a cheekbone injury, according to club boss Toby Booth.

North was hurt during the Ospreys’ Champions Cup defeat by Leicester last weekend, going off at half-time.

But Ospreys coach Booth, said Thursday that North, who made his name as wing but is now often deployed as a centre by both club and country, “will be good within a two to three-week period”.
