Gatland turns to Jones
January 27, 2012 12:30:32 UK
Wales coach Warren Gatland has invited fly-half Stephen Jones to the team's Polish training camp ahead of the Six Nations after James Hook returned to Perpignan.
Hook has left the squad temporarily in order to make himself available for his French side's vital Top 14 clash with Brive on Saturday.

Jones, 34, who has represented his country on 104 occasions, will start full training with the squad on Friday and provide extra cover for the number ten shirt.
Gatland will definitely be without Cardiff Blues prop Gethin Jenkins for Wales' opening Six Nations clash with Ireland at the new Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
Wales are 1.004 to win the Six Nations and 1.61 to claim the Triple Crown. They are also 1.36 to complete the Grand Slam.
Rhys Priestland and Dan Lydiate could feature in the competition despite picking up injuries recently.
Fly-half Priestland sustained a knee problem during Scarlets' win over Castres in the Heineken Cup, while Lydiate limped off 16 minutes into Newport Dragons' victory over Cavalieri Prato in the Amlin Cup with an ankle injury.
