Rugby World Cup 2015: Eli Walker out of Wales squad
Sep 15, 201511:42 AM
Wing Eli Walker has pulled out of Wales’ World Cup squad because of a hamstring injury.
The once-capped Ospreys player, 25, was himself a late call-up after full-back Leigh Halfpenny was ruled out of the quad through knee injury.
It comes after scrum-half Rhys Webb’s earlier withdrawal.
Twice-capped Gloucester back-rower Ross Moriarty, 21, who has taken Walker’s place, tweeted: “Feel for @EliWalker24 having to miss out because of injury.”
He added: “Unbelievably thankful to be given a call-up and can’t wait to get back involved.” - BBC
