Rhodri Jones: Wales prop to sit out Scarlets games

Jones made his Wales debut against Barbarians in June 2012

Wales prop Rhodri Jones will not feature in Scarlets' final two games of the Pro12 season.

Scarlets, in conjunction with the Welsh Rugby Union, have decided not to risk dual-contracted Jones for the games against Cardiff Blues and Treviso.

Jones, 23, has not played since dislocating his shoulder against the Ospreys on 3 January.

Head coach Wayne Pivac said he was not "going to risk putting him out".

Scarlets are locked in a battle with Edinburgh to secure sixth place in the Pro12 table and guarantee a place in next season's European Champions' Cup.
