Time ran out for Welsh fly-half Rhys Priestland yesterday, when it was announced he will not be in the starting fifteen for the semi-final against France on Saturday night. James Hook will slot into the role, bringing 57 caps-worth of experience into the team. Otherwise it’s the same team that dealt with Ireland in Wellington last Saturday evening.
Leigh Halfpenny, George North, Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, Shane Williams, James Hook, Mike Phillips, Gethin Jenkins, Huw Bennett, Adam Jones, Luke Charteris, Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton (c), Toby Faletau
