Taulupe Faletau could be set to hand Wayne Pivac another Six Nations boost by finally returning to training.
There is a possibility Wales’ head coach will have the services of George North for the second half of the championship as he nears the end of a long-haul recovery from knee trouble, while there is an outside chance Alun Wyn Jones might play a part over the final round or two.
Faletau now seems to be edging towards a comeback, too, after being sidelined since the summer with an ankle injury.
