Welsh rugby player Gethin Jenkins 'likely to miss Six Nations'

Sports fans with a Rugby World magazine subscription can read how Gethin Jenkins is not likely to play in the Six Nations.

If you're a sports fan with a Rugby World magazine subscription, you can read how Wales and British Lions star Gethin Jenkins is unlikely to play in the Six Nations.

The key player has to have an operation this week, to rectify a toe injury, and may well be out of action until the end of March, reports Rugby World magazine.

Paul James is likely to be the replacement player for the 30-year-old, with Wales looking to "shore up their scrum with a man who has been an automatic choice in the last few seasons", according to Rugby World magazine.

Wales coach Warren Gatland will also be without scrum-half Richie Rees, who has been banned for the Six Nations tournament.

Jenkins played in all five games for Wales at the 2003 Rugby World Cup and he played a key role in their 2005 Six Nations' side.

He has played in two friendly matches for his country so far this season.
