Wales suffer injury blow

NEWS: Scrumhalf Tomos Williams has been released from the Wales squad for the remaining November internationals due to a shoulder injury, with Kieran Hardy replacing him.

The Gloucester No.9 was hurt during Wales' 24-19 defeat against Fiji earlier this month.

He had already been ruled out of Sunday's match with Australia, being replaced in the starting line-up by Ellis Bevan, with Rhodri Williams gaining a place on the bench.

Tomos Williams will also not be available to face world champions South Africa in Cardiff on November 23.

Experienced Ospreys scrumhalf Hardy has been called up to the squad as a replacement for Williams, the Welsh Rugby Union said.

Defeat against Australia would be a record 11th successive Test loss for Wales.
