Davies hobbles off

WALES face an anxious wait over star centre Jonathan Davies’ fitness.

Davies was helped from the Principality Stadium pitch after suffering an ankle injury during the dying seconds of Wales’ 29-21 defeat against Australia.

Although Wales head coach Warren Gatland is set to make several changes for next Saturday’s game with Georgia, 65-time capped Davies is an integral part of his plans.

World champions New Zealand are Wales’ opponents on November 25, and then South Africa seven days later.

Other than Davies’ problem, Wales emerged largely unscathed from the Wallabies encounter as Australia reeled off a 13th successive victory in the fixture.

Wales fielded three new caps – centre Owen Watkin, prop Leon Brown and flanker Sam Cross – and Gatland said: “They will get better from that experience, and as a team we tend to get stronger as the campaign goes on.”
