Wales v South Africa: Tom Rogers out as Tandy forced into 12 changes


Six players – full-back Blair Murray, fly-half Dan Edwards, scrum-half Kieran Hardy, hooker and captain Dewi Lake, tight-head prop Keiron Assiratti, back-row forward Alex Mann – will feature in their fourth Tests of the autumn.

The loss of Rogers and Bristol’s Louis Rees-Zammit means that Ellis Mee, who was called up to the squad on Monday, and Rio Dyer are selected on the wings.

Centre Joe Roberts and scrum-half Kieran Hardy come in for the Gloucester pair of Max Llewellyn and Tomos Williams.

Gareth Thomas gets a first start of the autumn at loose-head prop, while there is a new partnership in the second row of Ben Carter and Rhys Davies.

The return of Wainwright means that Alex Mann moves to open-side at the expense of Harri Deaves with Taine Plumtree shifting to blind-side flanker.

Cardiff loose-head prop Danny Southworth is in line for a Test debut from a bench that also includes his club-mate Callum Sheedy.

Ten players are set for their first action of the autumn – Mee, Roberts, Dyer, Carter and Davies in the XV and Southworth, tight-head prop Chris Coleman, lock James Ratti, scrum-half Reuben Morgan-Williams and Sheedy on the bench.
