Six Nations 2013: Wales captain Ryan Jones to miss England game
Wales captain Ryan Jones has been ruled out of the Six Nations title decider against England in Cardiff on Saturday.
The back-row, who turns 32 this week, was forced off in the 48th minute at Murrayfield after injuring his shoulder in Wales' 28-18 win over Scotland.
Highlights: Scotland 18-28 Wales
Justin Tipuric replaced Jones at blind-side flanker and is now expected to start at six against England.
"It looks as though he will be out for six to eight weeks," said Wales assistant coach Robin McBryde.
"He has broken a bone in his shoulder and he is now under the management of the Ospreys.
Jones returned to Wales from Edinburgh on Sunday with his right arm in a sling.
Sam Warburton, whom Jones replaced as captain against France, took over as skipper against Scotland.
But former Wales flanker Martyn Williams suggested lock Alun Wyn Jones should take over as captain if Jones was not fit to face England, to take the pressure off Warburton.
The win at Murrayfield was a record fifth successive away success in the Six Nations for Wales.
That victory set up a mouth-watering clash at the Millennium Stadium on 16 March against England, who will be going for the Grand Slam after beating Italy 18-11 at Twickenham on Sunday.
But defending Six Nations champions Wales will retain the title if they beat England by eight points, and could do so with a seven-point win.
