Read our privacy policy Jonathan Humphreys admits that Wales’ mood after topping their Rugby World Cup group with an unbeaten record has been tempered by injuries to Taulupe Faletau and Gareth Anscombe. “It is a big loss, he is a true world-class player,” Wales assistant coach and forwards specialist Humphreys said, of Faletau. You can't replace what Toby gives, in terms of his intelligence and what he does Jonathan Humphreys “But it still doesn’t detract from the loss of him. We will know over the next 36 hours what his chances are.” If Wainwright moves positions, the vacancy at blindside flanker could mean a recall for seasoned campaigner Dan Lydiate, while Exeter’s Christ Tshiunza is also an option, along with switching captain Jac Morgan from openside and handing Tommy Reffell the number seven shirt.
