Justin Tipuric: Wales flanker returns for Ospreys after concussion

Justin Tipuric has played 43 Tests for Wales

Flanker Justin Tipuric played his first game for five months as Ospreys thrashed Belgium 71-0 in a friendly.

Tipuric, 27, had not played since suffering concussion playing for Wales against Italy on 19 March.

The 2013 British and Irish Lion missed Wales' summer tour of New Zealand as a result of the injury.

Tipuric featured for 40 minutes in the one-sided contest, with Tom Williams helping himself to a hat-trick of tries.

Ospreys were without a number of international stars including Alun Wyn Jones, Rhys Webb, Dan Lydiate and Dan Biggar.

Tipuric fell heavily at a lineout in the 64-17 Six Nations win over Italy and missed the remainder of the 2015-16 season.

He returned to training with the region in early July and said at the time: "I'm feeling healthy and enjoying pre-season."
