Taulupe Faletau’s extraordinary return to the Wales team against England added up to some rare good news for Wayne Pivac on the injury front.
There’s a possibility more might follow in the coming days and weeks.
Pivac will not be taking anything for granted and in the long-term he may be pleased that the number of players off limits to Wales in recent months has given him the opportunity to develop others at Test level. The likes of Will Rowlands, Taine Basham, Jac Morgan and Gareth Thomas have all enjoyed high-level exposure which should only stand them in good stead in the long run.
