Ken Owens is emphatic about the fact he's not retiring from rugby after being forced to pull out of Wales' World Cup squad.
The hooker has been struggling with a back injury that has kept him from training during Wales' mini-camps and effectively ended his hopes of a fourth World Cup.
The 36-year-old had previously admitted that the nerve issue in his back had left him fearing for his career in rugby, but it would appear that the 91-cap hooker is not only intending to keep on playing, but is hopeful of providing injury cover for Wales at the World Cup.
