Lion Finally Returns - Autumn Internationals 2010

Mike Phillips made his long awaited comeback from injury on Sunday afternoon.

One of the stars of the 2009 Lions tour of South Africa, Phillips has been out of action since October.

The 27-year-old damaged ankle ligaments in the Ospreys' Heineken Cup win over Clermont Auvergne and has missed a host of important matches for club and country in the four months that have followed.

As well as being absent for the final four rounds of the Ospreys' European action and the majority of the Magners League campaign to date, Phillips has also been unavailable for Wales' autumn internationals against New Zealand, Samoa, Argentina and Australia and the Six Nations games with England and Scotland.

But the man who started all three Tests for the Lions against the Springboks in June and July last year finally returned with a substitute appearance in the Ospreys' narrow win over Connacht yesterday.

And, although Phillips admits he now has to prove himself all over again, he has already targeted a place in the Wales squad prior to the end of the Six Nations.

"I have been training really hard and the ankle feels fine," said Phillips.
