Six Nations 2012: Wales wing George North winning fitness battle to face England in Triple Crown decider The 19-year-old Scarlets wing was forced out of Sunday's Six Nations victory over Scotland in the first half following an accidental collision with team-mate Jonathan Davies. North, who is regarded as one of the game's most prodigious talents, left the Millennium Stadium with his damaged right ankle in a medical boot. However, an MRI scan on Monday morning is understood to have revealed no major damage. North could be back in training as early as next Monday and take his place in an otherwise unchanged back line. The news will certainly come as a boost to coach Wales Warren Gatland whose squad has been decimated by injuries to key players. Gethin Jenkins, Matthew Rees, Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Lydiate and Luke Charteris were all absent for the game against Ireland in Dublin and though Jenkins and Lydiate returned for Sunday's 27-13 success over the Scots, captain Sam Warburton and his open side replacement Justin Tipuric, were both missing with thigh and ankle injuries respectively. Warburton (dead leg) and Tipuric (ankle) are both likely to return to the squad in time for Twickenham, but hooker Huw Bennett faces the possibility of missing the game due to a torn calf muscle. With a shoulder injury ruling out British Lions hooker Rees, the task could fall to his Scarlets" team-mate Ken Owens. Charteris will definitely be missing, as will the suspended Bradley Davies, while Gatland's second row problems increased on Sunday afternoon when captain for the day Ryan Jones finished the game with a dead leg. The Ospreys forward spent all of Sunday night wearing an ice pack and will spend the rest of this week having intensive treatment. However, Jones is hoping to play a part in full contact training at the weekend. All 32 squad members are back in camp on Wednesday having been granted a mini-break in the wake of Sunday's exploits. After 48 hours of recovery and conditioning the match-day preparations begin on Friday. Meanwhile, Ireland's postponed match against France has been rescheduled for Sunday March 4, Six Nations Rugby Ltd has confirmed.
