It may seem a little conspiratorial but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a decent element of truth in it. I suspect he did get injured but it was nowhere near as bad as they thought but rather than come out and say that they let it play out like it did. Gatland is pretty shrewd.

Some ex players (Jim Hamilton being one) have said it couldn't have been a full dislocation but one that popped out and straight back in.
Some have suggested he is just taking a major risk with his shoulder as its the the end of his career anyway.
Not medics though so who the fuck knows.

I think with current covid protocols it would be 100% unacceptable and potentially tour-ruining if they were found to have sent a player out of the party and back to Wales only to bring him back again for 'theatrics' or game-playing. Also possible leaving themselves open to legal challenge if AWJ got ill. Anyway, my issue was more with your apparent inability to see any value in his playing ability. I'd take him over Mostart and this version of Lood without a moment's thought...
