The only other injury resulting from the narrow defeat to France at the Millennium Stadium is to Blues centre, Iestyn Harris, who will be monitored
on a daily basis after injuring a leg muscle, but is expected to recover in time for Test week.

Scarlets hooker, Robin McBryde is recovering from tonsilitis, but is expected to resume full training next week and be available for selection.

Robert Sidoli and Garan Evans, who had been suffering from the same pelvic condition, both came through regional matches at the weekend with a clean bill of health, lock Sidoli turned out for the Celtic Warriors and wing Evans for the Scarlets.

Outside the current squad, Scarlets and international wing Mark Jones had successful reconstructive surgery on his left knee on Sunday and will now begin rehabilitation with the aim of returning to rugby in six to eight months.

Warriors full back, Kevin Morgan should make a return for his region this weekend after recovering from a broken ankle and Blues hooker, Gareth Williams is on course for a return to rugby in four to five weeks after successful shoulder surgery.
