Warren Gatland ready to make ‘tough calls’ on Wales squad

Wales head coach Warren Gatland admits that he has some “tough calls” ahead as he applies the finishing touches to his 31-man World Cup squad.

Gatland’s squad will be announced at the Millennium Stadium this afternoon, and he acknowledges that “24 or 25 players” have already booked their places.

But the New Zealander also needs to make decisions on players like wing Liam Williams and fly-half Gareth Anscombe, who are both currently sidelined through injury, although prop Samson Lee appears firmly on course to make the final group following five months out because of Achilles tendon trouble.
