Wales have recalled Cardiff flanker Josh Navidi for the remainder of the Six Nations tournament.

Navidi has been on the sidelines since October when he sustained a shoulder injury while playing for his club Cardiff in the United Rugby Championship clash against Bulls and has already undergone a surgery.

However, he made a successful comeback in Cardiff's recently concluded game against Ulster in Belfast where he featured in full 80 minutes following which he was included in the Wales squad by head coach Wayne Pivac.

Navidi's inclusion meant back-rower Ellis Jenkins has been released back to Cardiff for their games in South Africa over the next two weekends.

Wales are positioned fifth in the Six Nations table with a solitary victory from three games and will be facing France and Italy in the final two rounds on 12th and 19th March respectively.
