Scarlets prop Wyn Jones ruled out of Six Nations

Wales loose head prop Wyn Jones has been ruled out of his country's remaining Six Nations games due to a hamstring injury.

The 26-year-old came has won eight caps and featured off the bench in Wales' first three games of this season's Six Nations.

The Welsh Rugby Union have decided not to call up a replacement with Ospreys prop Nicky Smith the other option in the loosehead position.

"It is disappointing for Wyn and tough on him," said forwards coach Robin McBryde.

"He has had a good season on the back of a good summer.

"We won't call up anyone as of yet. We have both Rob (Evans) and Nicky (Smith) and will see where we are at the end of the week."

Wales welcome Italy to Cardiff on March 11 before hosting France the following week to finish the tournament.
