Wales have recalled Ospreys flanker Dan Lydiate for the 2021 Six Nations.
Lydiate, 33, last played international rugby when winning his 64th Wales cap against Australia in November 2018.
Wales coach Wayne Pivac has named a 36-man squad which does not include Ospreys scrum-half Rhys Webb, although his team-mate Rhodri Jones is named among the props.
Wales open their Six Nations campaign against Ireland in Cardiff on 7 February.
Prop Jones last played for Wales against South Africa in June 2018 and comes in at loose-head alongside Wyn Jones and Rhys Carre, with Rob Evans and Nicky Smith both injured. Tight-head Samson Lee is also ruled out through injury.
