The British & Irish Lions received a massive boost on Wednesday when it was confirmed that tour captain Alun Wyn Jones will return to the touring party in South Africa. "We are delighted to welcome Alun Wyn back," head coach Warren Gatland told the Lions' official website. "It'll come as no surprise to anyone who knows Alun Wyn that since injuring his shoulder against Japan, he's done everything he can to get himself back. He's been training with the Wales squad at the Vale since last week and yesterday he had a proper hit out. ?Alun Wyn Jones has made an incredible recovery and been given the all-clear to return to the #LionsRugby Tour ?????
