The Latest: Biggar back for Wales after a concussion

TOKYO (AP) — The Latest on Friday at the Rugby World Cup in Japan (all times local):

12:40 p.m.

Dan Biggar has successfully followed return-to-play protocols following a head injury and has been included in Wales’ team to play France in the quarterfinals on Sunday.

The flyhalf sustained a concussion in an accidental collision against Fiji in a 29-17 win for the Welsh on Oct. 9. The Welsh Rugby Union says Biggar has remained symptom-free since the game and completed the return-to-play protocols, so he has been deemed fit to play by an independent concussion consultant.

Center Jonathan Davies has recovered from a knee injury also sustained against Fiji while winger George North has shaken off a knock to his ankle to also start.

It meant Wales coach Warren Gatland was able to name the same team that started the 29-25 win over Australia in the pool stage.

Wales have beaten France seven times in their past eight meetings.
