Wales blow as Ryan Jones sent home from training camp in Poland with shoulder injury ahead of autumn Tests A WRU statement read: "The decision to send Jones home at this time is based on a preference for the facilities available in Wales to accommodate the necessary investigations and give the player the most optimal management plan for his injury. Jones remains a full member of the squad and further details of his problem and any repercussions for selection, if at all, will become apparent once the proper investigations have been undertaken. Adam Jones was ruled out of the autumn series last week due to a knee problem that could require more than two months' rehabilitation. Lydiate, meanwhile, suffered a serious ankle injury playing for Newport Gwent Dragons earlier this season. In addition to missing the autumn schedule, it is unlikely he will play any part in Wales' Six Nations title defence, although he is expected to regain full fitness ahead of next summer's British and Irish Lions tour to Australia. Lydiate was last season's Six Nations player of the tournament, although Wales have a ready-made replacement in Ryan Jones, who is a former Test skipper and has won 67 caps.
