Cory Hill makes World Cup cut for Wales
Cory Hill has been named in Wales’ 31-man World Cup squad despite suffering from a leg fracture.
Dragons lock Hill, who captained his country in two Tests against Argentina last year, could be unavailable until halfway through Wales’ pool schedule. He has not played since February.
But Wales head coach Warren Gatland has selected him for Japan, while fly-half Rhys Patchell also features following his try-scoring exploits against Ireland on Saturday.
From the club to the global stage, the honour of making Wales' @rugbyworldcup squad announcement falls to the players' community clubs 🏴 Braint rhoi'r llwyfan i'n clybiau cymunedol, a enwebwyd gan y chwaraewyr eu hun. #HWFNpic.twitter.com/YHZKdDXGb3
