• Navidi also out with Parkes and Davies doubts for match
Liam Williams has been ruled out of the World Cup and will miss Wales’s semi-final with South Africa after the full-back picked up an ankle injury in training. Warren Gatland’s side will take on the Springboks in Yokohama on Sunday, but Williams will not feature. It is a huge blow to Wales’ chances of reaching the last two.
The 28-year-old has emerged as one of the leading full-backs in world rugby in the last year and has been in fine form in Japan. Williams trained with Wales on Wednesday, but it is understood he suffered an ankle problem in that day’s afternoon session after it was closed to the watching media.
