itemprop=description content=The Scarlets scrum-half will join up with the Wales squad in France.
Number eight Taulupe Faletau was ruled out of the remainder of the tournament after suffering a broken arm during Wales’ 43-19 victory over Georgia on Saturday.
Wales assistant coach Jonathan Humphreys admits Wales’ mood after topping their World Cup group with an unbeaten record has been tempered by injuries to Faletau and Gareth Anscombe. “It is a big loss, he is a true world-class player,” Wales forwards specialist Humphreys said of Faletau. “You can’t replace what Toby gives, in terms of his intelligence and what he does, how he always turns up at the right place and makes the right decision at the right time.“We are delighted that we topped the group, but then when you have close members of the squad who have been injured you are clearly down about that. It affects the mood.
