SCARLET JONES EARNS WALES CALL UP
Jones, who scored the winning try in the Scarlets’ 15-13 victory over Edinburgh on Saturday was not included in Mike Ruddock’s initial squad due to injury. However, after taking part in his side’s Heineken Cup match on Saturday, he joins the rest of the squad this morning (Monday) as Wales prepare to play New Zealand on Saturday. He takes the number of players in the squad to 32.
Mike Ruddock said, “It is great to have Dafydd back playing again and he showed his quality on Saturday in scoring the last-minute try for the Scarlets to win the game. Dafydd makes a huge contribution to the Wales squad both on and off the field.
“As far as fitness is concerned, there is no issue with Dafydd as his recent injury was to his finger but it was important to see how he would come through Saturday’s match and he performed superbly well.”
