Recovering Sam Warburton targeting January return

Wales star Sam Warburton says he has had “no hiccups so far” in his recovery from neck surgery.

The twice British and Irish Lions captain remains on course for a return to action in January.

Wales open their NatWest 6 Nations campaign against Scotland on February 3. Warburton has not played so far this season after the recurrence of a long-standing neck injury meant an operation was deemed necessary.
