Alun Wyn Jones is fit to play against Scotland this weekend, Wales have announced.
Jones was ruled out of the match by Warren Gatland in the immediate aftermath of Saturday's defeat against Ireland after failing a HIA.
But it's now emerged he will be considered for selection having passed subsequent HIA assessments.

WalesOnline understands Jones was called for a HIA by the matchday doctor and had an abnormal first HIA assessment so didn’t return to field of play. But his subsequent assessments (HIA2 and HIA3 which are the longer more detailed assessments) were normal and he has not shown any signs or symptoms of concussion.
Medics further reviewed video footage and interviewed Jones, with no concussion subsequently confirmed. Jones suffered a neck injury but it is not serious enough to rule him out for this weekend.
The Wales medical team has been in contact with World Rugby and Six Nations to keep them across the situation.
Following the game Gatland had said: "Alun Wyn failed a HIA and he won’t be available for the next game.
"Tomas Francis came off with a tight calf so we’ll have to look at him."
Wales defence coach Mike Forshaw has suggested Francis will be in the mix for selection after having a scan on a calf injury. Wales announce the team to face Scotland on Thursday.
