Jones doubtful for Six Nations

Scarlets prop Rhodri Jones is a doubt for Wales' Six Nations campaign after dislocating his shoulder in Saturday's 22-10 Pro12 derby win over Ospreys.

The 22-year-old tighthead featured in the squads for all four of Wales' November Tests and signed a new dual-contract last week.

Jones was injured in the 60th minute having come off the bench at halftime.

"Rhodri Jones has dislocated a shoulder unfortunately, so we'll just have to see. They put it back in but he is in a lot of pain obviously," Scarlets coach Wayne Pivac said.

Scarlets hooker Emyr Phillips is also a doubt for Wales in the Six Nations as he needs surgery on a dislocated shoulder, while fellow Scarlets hooker Ken Owens is yet to return after undergoing neck surgery in September.

Wales begin their Six Nations campaign at home to England on Friday, February 6, before ending the tournament away to Italy on Saturday, March 21.

Scarlets suffered a further blow to their front row as hooker Kirby Myhill also left the action against Ospreys with a suspected torn pectoral muscle.

The injuries took the gloss off a fine win over Ospreys, ending a run of defeats against their west Wales rivals that stretched back to 2011.
