Scarlets back Williams was ruled out of the tournament  after sustaining a foot injury in Wales' 6-15 defeat against Australia in the Pool A decider at Twickenham on Saturday.

"Ospreys wing Eli Walker has been called into Wales' World Cup squad and will link up with the squad immediately," a Welsh Rugby Union statement read.

"The 23-year-old was originally named in the 31-man World Cup squad but was released due to injury ahead of the tournament.

"Walker replaces Liam Williams, who was released on Sunday."
