Having recovered from a shoulder injury, original tour captain AlunWynJones will rejoin the lionsofficial touring party in Cape Town on Thursday. By MikeGreenaway67 | IOLsport

DURBAN – In what is one of the most remarkable comebacks in British & Irish Lions history, original tour captain Alun Wyn Jones will rejoin the Lions touring party in Cape Town on Thursday.

The 35-year-old Wesh lock dislocated his shoulder during the Lions’ warm-up match against Japan at Murrayfield on June 26 and the injury appeared to be career-ending, and the Lions left for South Africa with Conor Murray of Ireland the new captain. But Wyn Jones, the most capped player in the history of international rugby, has completed a miraculous recovery. Following a training session with the Wales squad at their Glamorgan headquarters on Tuesday, and a subsequent medical assessment this morning, he was passed fit to return to the tour in South Africa.“We are delighted to welcome Alun Wyn back,” said coach Warren Gatland.
