Dewi Lake has been called up to Wales' squad for the remainder of their Six Nations campaign.

The hooker returns after missing his nation's opening three matches of the championship due to a bicep injury.

Lake will be available for Wales' trip to Murrayfield to face Scotland on March 8, along with their final match at home to England the following week.

The 25-year-old, who captained Warren Gatland's side during last year's tour of Australia and autumn internationals, is now one of four hookers in Matt Sherratt's 38-player squad.

With Wales not in action this weekend, Sherratt has released 19 players to feature in the Premiership, United Rugby Championship and Top 14 for their respective sides.

Defeat to Ireland on Saturday means the Welsh have now lost a record-extending 15 successive Tests.
