Wales coach Wayne Pivac has refused to rule out another Lazarus-style comeback from injury for Alun Wyn Jones.
Test rugby's most-capped player stunned everyone last year when he shook off a dislocated shoulder to take part in the British and Irish Lions' Test series against South Africa.
However, another shoulder injury against New Zealand in the autumn has kept him on the sidelines once again, with Dan Biggar stepping into the leadership role after Jones was ruled out of Wales' Six Nations title defence.
