- Davies back in side for Sunday’s World Cup clash
- Leigh Halfpenny replaces Williams in Yokohama
Wales will be without their Lions’ full-back Liam Williams for Sunday’s semi-final against South Africa in Yokohama after he suffered an ankle injury in a collision with a team-mate in training this week.
But the blow is softened by the return of the centre Jonathan Davies, the man of the series in the 2017 Lions tour to New Zealand, who missed the quarter-final victory over France with a knee injury, while Williams’s replacement, Leigh Halfpenny, is another Lion and will be winning his 85th cap.
