Wayne Pivac says that Wales have “gone the extra mile” in involving an independent concussion specialist surrounding detailed assessment of prop Tomas Francis.

Francis, who suffered a head injury midway through the first half of Wales’ defeat against England at Twickenham 11 days ago, will start Friday’s Guinness Six Nations appointment with France in Cardiff.
