Leigh Halfpenny has been ruled out of Wales' Six Nations opener against Ireland after suffering a back spasm on Thursday morning.
The full-back will be replaced by Liam Williams, who steps in to the starting side having played just 180 minutes of rugby this season. Halfpenny had been in line for his first start in 19 months after a long-term injury.
However, once again, Halfpenny had been robbed of that elusive first start since suffering a knee injury against Canada in July 2021.
