Wales great Alun Wyn Jones has been passed fit to play against Scotland in the Six Nations, British media reported Tuesday.

It had been thought the 37-year-old would miss the Murrayfield match, with Wales coach Warren Gatland initially saying the veteran lock had been ruled out after he went off for a head injury assessment during a tournament-opening 34-10 home defeat by Ireland last weekend.
