Jones completes stunning comeback as Wales warm up for clash with Canada

WALES fly-half Stephen Jones last night declared himself fit to start the World Cup — just six weeks after fearing he would be ruled out of the tournament altogether.

Jones admitted it was “touch and go” whether he would need surgery on a hip flexor injury suffered during Wales’s pre-World Cup training camp in Brittany.

But on his return to the St Nazaire Rugby Club, Jones came through a full training session and confirmed he is fit to play in Sunday’s opening clash against Canada.
