Your support makes all the difference.Gethin Jenkins and Bradley Davies have been ruled out of Wales' third Test against New Zealand in Dunedin on Saturday.
The two players have flown home with Josh Turnbull after both picking up injuries in the 36-22 second Test defeat against the All Blacks last weekend.
Turnbull suffered his problem in last week's loss to the Chiefs.
Loosehead prop Jenkins suffered a calf injury in the warm-up in Wellington but played the majority of the game.
Lock Davies suffered a knee injury after coming on as a second-half replacement for Luke Charteris.
Wales name their team for the third Test on Thursday morning. There are further injury concerns among the remaining squad, with British and Irish Lions centre Jamie Roberts required to pass a fitness test if he is to be able to start the match at inside centre alongside Jonathan Davies.
Wales suffered a 39-21 defeat in the first Test in Eden Park, and have not beaten the All Blacks since 1953.
