Walker Back For Wales
Ospreys wing Eli Walker has been called into Wales Rugby World Cup squad and will link up with the squad immediately.
The 23-year-old was originally named in the 31-man RWC Squad but was released due to injury ahead of the tournament.
Walker replaces Liam Williams who was released on Sunday.
Reports from journalists close to the Wales camp on Tuesday suggested that Walker would not be considered for this weekend’s quarter-final, raising the possibility of Tyler Morgan being given another run at outside centre with George North returning to the wing.
Williams is just the latest in a long list of Welsh backs to succumb to injury either before or during the tournament, including Rhys Webb, Jonathan Davies, Scott Williams, Hallam Amos and Leigh Halfpenny.
