Wales expect to welcome back a number of players for their last eight clash against Ireland on Saturday.

Wales will welcome back a number of injured players for their World Cup quarter-final against Ireland on Saturday.

Skills coach Rob Howley has said that they have a "full-strength squad" for the clash as James Hook, Shane Williams and Dan Lydiate all return for selection.

Captain Sam Warburton is also expected to be fit after coming off during his side's win against Fiji on Sunday.

"We'll have some players coming back from injury," said coach Warren Gatland.

"We feel the squad is in pretty good shape at the moment."

The two sides last met in March when Wales won 19-13.
