- Jonathan Davies and Dan Biggar recover from injury
- Hadleigh Parkes and George North also return in Oita
Warren Gatland has his big guns back after Jonathan Davies, Hadleigh Parkes, George North and Dan Biggar were all passed fit for Wales’ crunch World Cup quarter-final with France.
Key centres Davies and Parkes have been nursing knee and shoulder injuries respectively and the former’s leg has been heavily strapped in training in Beppu this week. Both players will brush off their bumps to take on Les Bleus and their availability – plus that of Biggar and North – is a huge boost for head coach Gatland. The New Zealander will leave his role in charge of Wales after the tournament in Japan and is desperate for the last-eight clash with France not to be his last game.
