Ellie Roper previews England's Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Fiji and James Cole reports from Toulon ahead of Wales v Argentina
Dan Biggar will be fit to feature in Wales' Rugby World Cup quarter-final clash against Argentina on Saturday. The fly-half went off after just 12 minutes of the record 40-6 win against Australia during an unbeaten march through Pool C, suffering a pectoral muscle strain.Biggar was an unused replacement for the Georgia game last weekend, having been rushed onto the bench when Sam Costelow was summoned to start instead of an injured Gareth Anscombe.
They were both running around today with the medics, and they will try to progress that each day.' Wales head coach Warren Gatland is due to name his starting line-up on Thursday, with Aaron Wainwright expected to move from blindside flanker as Faletau's replacement.That could then mean captain Jac Morgan wearing the number six shirt and Tommy Reffell starting at openside, although Dan Lydiate and Christ Tshiunza could also be back-row options.
