ROBERTS SET FOR SURPRISE WALES RECALL

- By WILL KELLEHER

JAMIE ROBERTS is in line for a shock Wales recall to combat the threat of New Zealand juggernaut Sonny Bill Williams. Roberts (left) was dropped from the original squad having captained his country in the summer. But with Jonathan Davies out for six months, the 31-year-old is likely to win his 94th cap on Saturday. ‘If Jamie plays, he would probably defend at 12 and we would swap things round in attack,’ said Wales defence coach Shaun Edwards. ‘It would be nice to see him and Sonny Bill having a collision.’ Liam Williams has been ruled out of the All Blacks and South Africa Tests with an abdominal problem.
