**Coach Warren Gatland delivered a clean bill of health on Alun Wyn Jones after the British and Irish Lions captain made a successful comeback in a 49-3 victory over the Stormers in Cape Town.** Three weeks after dislocating his shoulder against Japan at Murrayfield, Jones played 27 minutes as a second-half replacement to complete what Gatland described as a “miracle recovery”. The Lions’ forward talisman made seven tackles and gained four metres from five carries to give his shoulder a solid test seven days before the series against South Africa begins. Now officially reinstated as skipper with Conor Murray stepping aside, Gatland must decide if he is ready to face the world champions. “Alun got a few shots on and defended well. There were a couple of touches in there as well,” the Lions head coach said.
