Wales have been dealt an injury blow as flyhalf Gareth Anscombe picked up an injury during the warm-ups ahead of his team's final Rugby World Cup pool match with Georgia.
Anscombe's injury sees 22-year-old Sam Costelow start in the number ten shirt, with Dan Biggar coming onto the bench.
Biggar's return to the bench is not ideal for Wales, given he was carrying an injury in the upper chest area.
The injury was initially feared to be a potential tournament-ending one. Fortunately, however, a later diagnosis said the experienced pivot would be available for the quarterfinals.
Today's match will be Costelow's eighth cap for Wales, having made his debut against New Zealand in the 2022 November International series.
