• Ospreys centre Ben John retires after repeated head injuries
Leigh Halfpenny is expected to miss at least the first two Six Nations matches after being told by a specialist he is at least three weeks away from a return from concussion.
The Wales and Scarlets full-back was concussed against Australia in November – the fourth time in six years. He has not played since and is continuing to show symptoms such as headaches.
