Today's rugby headlines as Ellis Jenkins Wales axe shocks pundit and Rhys Webb doesn't mince his words

The rugby headlines from Wales and across the world for Monday March 7, with the Six Nations dominating the agenda again.

Former Ospreys coach Sean Holley is stunned by Wayne Pivac's decision to release Ellis Jenkins from the Wales squad and send him back to Cardiff.

The dynamic flanker skippered Wales during the autumn and earned rave reviews for the way he bounced back from a horrific knee injury that meant two years out of the game.

But Pivac made the surprising call on Sunday to omit Jenkins from his plans entirely, whilst calling a fit again Josh Navidi back into the party.

Holley, a Scrum V pundit, fully expects Navidi to be involved against France, although it will be from the bench as he anticipates a starting back row of Ross Moriarty, Taine Basham and Taulupe Faletau.

Of Jenkins' omission, he said: "It's a big blow for Ellis, he's essentially been dropped from the squad.

"He hasn't done much wrong really, but there you go, they want to bring Josh back."

Webb unimpressed by Ospreys

Ospreys captain Rhys Webb didn't mince his words despite his side's United Rugby championship victory over Zebre.

The Welsh team may have won 27-22 in the end, but Webb left his team-mates in no doubt about the quality of what they produced.

A number of basic errors and silly penalties stifled hopes of attacking fluency against the worst side in the competition.

Webb said: "It's mixed emotions at the moment. Yes, we're pleased to get the win but we're very disappointed with our performance.

"Our discipline let us down throughout the game. It's something we talked about at half time but we still gave away soft penalties. We just didn't respect the ball.

"Going to South Africa next we need to sort it out as there are some quick boys
