Jones to miss rest of Six Nations

WALES lock Alun Wyn Jones will undergo surgery today on his elbow which will see him in recovery for six to 12 weeks, ruling him out of the rest of the RBS Six Nations championship.

Jones picked up the injury to his arm around the 36th minute mark of Wales’ victory over Scotland at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday and came off at half-time. Further investigation revealed a chipped bone and ligament damage needing surgery.

“It has been concluded the chipped bone needs to be removed and the ligament to be repaired to ensure a stable joint,” said Wales physio Mark Davies. “The recovery will be six to 12 weeks ruling him out of the rest of the Six Nations and allowing him to target an end of season return for the Ospreys.”
