The British & Irish Lions will make a decision on whether Wales lock Alun Wyn Jones will re-join the squad in South Africa in the next 24 hours after coach Warren Gatland described his recovery from a dislocated shoulder as"remarkable".
Jones has been training with Wales in the last few days as he tries to prove his fitness following the injury sustained in the 28-10 victory over Japan in Edinburgh last month.At the time he was withdrawn from the tour having been given no chance of making the three tests against the world champion Springboks that start on July 24, with Ireland scrumhalf Conor Murray taking over the captaincy."There is a possibility as he is back in full training," Gatland told reporters on Monday.
"I probably wasn’t expecting them to be as strong as they are, but I am delighted because it will give us a good indication of where we are going into the test series," he said.
