Gats names Wales squad for RWC quarter-final

Warren Gatland has named his side to face Argentina in the Rugby World Cup quarter-final.

Jac Morgan will captain the side, hoping to lead them to the semi-finals of the tournament.

Wales fans will breathe a sigh of relief as Dan Bigger is set to start on Saturday. He was taken off just 12 minutes into Wales's winning match against Australia due to injury. He then didn't play in Wales's game against Georgia but was seen back in training this week.

Liam Williams also returns from injury in last week's match. However, Gareth Anscombe does not.

George North will make his 20th World Cup appearance this weekend, teaming up with Nick Tompkins at centre.

In a statement, Warren Gatland said ''We had a goal of making the quarter-finals which we have achieved. Now it’s about building on that momentum.

“It’s exciting to enter into the knock-out stages of the tournament and we are ready for the challenge of a quarter-final. All our preparation has been geared to getting to this spot and we’re very much relishing the opportunity.

“We’re expecting another tough encounter this weekend against a physical Argentina side. We haven’t had the perfect performance yet, but we have shown that we are a hard team to beat.

“There is a lot more growth in this squad – collectively and individually – and we can’t wait to get out there in Marseille on Saturday.”
