Injury worries ease for Wales

Wales coach Warren Gatland is likely to have another fully fit squad to choose from for their World Cup semi-final against France in Auckland on Saturday.

Wales assistant coach Robert Howley said concerns over shoulder-injury victims Rhys Priestland and Luke Charteris have eased.

Priestland left the 22-10 quarter-final win over Ireland in the 77th minute and lock Charteris did so at the break.

"They are both expected to be fine," said Howley.

Centre Jamie Roberts' nose injury is also not a major concern ahead of the clash at Eden Park. It is bruised not broken

I said from the start that if Wales managed to stay injury free that we would do well. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would get this far and still have all of our squad available for selection.
Luck has been on our side but I'm also sure that our preparation has also played a big part.
