CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - The British & Irish Lions will make a decision on whether Wales lock Alun Wyn Jones will re-join the squad in South Africa in the next 24 hours after coach Warren Gatland described his recovery from a dislocated shoulder as "remarkable".

Jones has been training with Wales in the last few days as he tries to prove his fitness following the injury sustained in the 28-10 victory over Japan in Edinburgh last month.
