- Davies back in side for Sunday’s World Cup clash
- Leigh Halfpenny replaces Williams in Yokohama
Reach for the sky promises to be the theme of Wales’s semi-final against South Africa with neither side disposed to take risks in their own half. They both pride themselves on going the distance and not being physically dominated and what is expected to be the tightest of contests is more likely to be decided by a mistake rather than a moment of brilliance.
Every Wales player who has been on media duty this week has said the same thing, following the lead taken by their head coach, Warren Gatland. The quarter-final victory over France was notable for the result rather than the performance and a repeat against the Springboks will result in a flight home next Saturday rather than an appearance in the final.
