TOULON, France, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Wales' influential flyhalf Dan Biggar will start this weekend's Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Argentina in Marseille with Tommy Reffell named on Thursday in place of the injured Taulupe Faleatu.
Along with Biggar, Wales also named experienced fullback Liam Williams for Saturday's match despite him being taken off with a knee injury in their final pool match last weekend, a 43-19 win over Georgia in Nantes.
Williams was later seen using crutches but coaching staff this week said it was a precautionary measure to take weight off his leg.
“It’s exciting to enter into the knockout stages of the tournament and we are ready for the challenge of a quarter-final.
We haven't had the perfect performance yet, but we have shown that we are a hard team to beat.
