The retirement thoughts Ken Owens fought over the past 11 months
Ken Owens is set to make a Wales return after an 11-month injury battle. Scarlets hooker has not represented his country since a Six Nations Grand Slam clash against France early last year. He has 87 caps and five British and Irish Lions Test appearances. Owens made his Wales debut during the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand. Wales have not beaten New Zealander since 1953. They have lost 32 successive Tests against the All Blacks. They return to action following a first victory over the Springboks on South African soil four months ago. The odds are still stacked against them.
