Wales call up Josh Navidi as Ellis Jenkins' Six Nations is over

Wales have called up Josh Navidi to the Six Nations squad ahead of Friday night's match against France, with Ellis Jenkins released.

Navidi played a full 80 minutes for Cardiff against Ulster on Friday night - his first rugby since October.

He now comes straight into the selection mix, with Wayne Pivac a huge fan of the destructive 31-year-old.

Club team-mate Jenkins has been released from the squad to play for Cardiff in the upcoming matches in South Africa, thus ending his Six Nations involvement.

He started the opening match of the Championship against Ireland after captaining the team in the autumn, but has been out of favour since.

There is still no official call-up for Alun Wyn Jones who is with the Wales squad as he continues his rehabilitation from a shoulder injury.
