WALES head into just their third ever Rugby World Cup semi-final when they take on South Africa.
Warren Gatland’s men will be hoping for a place in the showpiece next weekend – but they will need to get there without Liam Williams.

Why isn’t Liam Williams playing for Wales?
The full-back has been ruled out of the rest of the Rugby World Cup after suffering an ankle injury in training – just days before their crucial semi-final against South Africa.
The 28-year-old has been an integral part of the Warren Gatland’s side since making his debut in 2012, helping his nation win the Six Nations Grand Slam in March.
The Welsh Rugby Union released a statement, saying: “Liam Williams has been ruled out for the remainder of the Rugby World Cup following an ankle injury sustained in an accidental collision during training.
“His prognosis will be established in the forthcoming days. No replacement has been called up at this stage.”
