The Latest: Davies back for Wales, Halfpenny at fullback
TOKYO (AP) — The Latest on Friday at the Rugby World Cup in Japan (all times local):
11:45 a.m.
Wales recalled fit-again Jonathan Davies at center and selected Leigh Halfpenny in place of the injured Liam Williams at fullback for the Rugby World Cup semifinal against South Africa on Sunday.
Davies missed the 20-19 win over France in the quarterfinals because of a knee injury. He replaces Owen Watkin, who drops to the bench.
Liam Williams was ruled out of the tournament Friday after hurting his ankle in an accidental collision in training and his spot is taken by Halfpenny, who didn’t make the 23-man matchday squad against France.
Ross Moriarty is selected at No. 8 following the tournament-ending hamstring injury sustained by Josh Navidi against France.
