Overview
- Duncan Jones injured both knees in an accidental training collision this week and will undergo surgery on Friday, according to head coach Steve Tandy.
- The absence leaves Wales without a specialist scrum coach for Saturday’s Six Nations opener against England at Twickenham.
- Tandy described the incident as an “absolute freak” occurrence from a low-impact contact during a live session.
- Forwards coach Danny Wilson, a former hooker who has previously led set-piece work, will oversee the scrum on a temporary basis.
- The coaching group will review whether to bring in additional specialist scrum expertise after the weekend.
