Prop Paul James will be available once more following a calf injury, while lock Bradley Davies, who was limping heavily after the victory over Fiji at the Millennium Stadium and had an ice pack strapped to his ankle, is expected to recover for a game that could be a make-or-break fixture for Wales, depending on the outcome of Saturday night's game at Twickenham between England and Australia. Of the overall fitness of the squad, Wales kicking coach Neil Jenkins said yesterday: “We will be OK. We have got a nice turnaround and the boys can look forward to this weekend and then look forward to a big Test match against Australia next weekend. It doesn’t bear thinking about what these boys have gone through.” Even if England lose, we will still be looking forward to Australia &#13; <p>Neil Jenkins, Wales kicking coach</p>&#13; Wales have a huge vested interest in today’s crunch Pool A game.
