WALES BACK OWEN Williams has been ruled out of action for the rest of the Guinness Six Nations after suffering a hamstring injury during the warm-up ahead of the visitors’ 24-14 defeat to Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.
Gloucester star Williams, who can play at 10 or 12, had been named as Wales’ replacement out-half for the Aviva Stadium clash before being replaced on the bench by Jarrod Evans.
Wales confirmed on Tuesday that the 27-year-old will miss the rest of the tournament, but are yet to name a replacement in their squad.
Wayne Pivac is already without out-halves Gareth Anscombe and Rhys Patchell, while Saturday’s starting 10 Dan Biggar was forced off in the first half after failing a HIA.

Evans is currently the only fit out-half in the squad, although Biggar is expected to recover in time to face France in Cardiff on 22 February.
