Wales lock Alun-Wyn Jones has revealed that he is hopeful of returning from injury in time to take part in the Six Nations.
The 27-year-old boasts 67 caps to his name, but his involvement in the tournament has been placed into question since he suffered a shoulder injury against Argentina in November.
However, he has claimed that his "rehab is going well" and could yet return to action at the end of February.
"Rehab is going well. I am on track, so I've just got to put the hard work in now. I am in good hands with the Ospreys medical and conditioning teams and I know that they will look after me," he told Sky Sports News.
"I am itching to get back involved, but when exactly that will be is down to how the next few weeks go."
Jones underwent surgery to correct the problem in November.
