Three Wales changes for Rugby World Cup quarter-final against South Africa

Warren Gatland brings in three new faces for Wales's Rugby World Cup quarter-final against South Africa at Twickenham.

Warren Gatland has made three changes to his Wales starting XV for Saturday's Rugby World Cup quarter-final against South Africa at Twickenham.

Gethin Jenkins, Dan Lydiate and Tyler Morgan are the three new faces, and Lydiate's inclusion means that the back-row combination with Sam Warburton and Taulupe Faletau will set a new World Cup record with seven starts.

Morgan's inclusion at centre means that George North returns to left-wing, while Jenkins takes Paul James's place in the front row.

The starting XV has 702 Test caps, which makes it Wales's second-most experienced in World Cup history.

Wales: Jenkins, Baldwin, Lee; Charteris, Wyn Jones; Lydiate, Warburton; Faletau; G. Davies, Biggar, North, Roberts, Morgan, Cuthbert, Anscombe
Replacements: Owens, James, Francis, B. Davies, Tipuric, Williams, Priestland, Hook
