TOYOTA CITY, Japan - Wales coach Warren Gatland admits he is worried about the forward muscle of Georgia as he named a full-strength team for his side’s Rugby World Cup Pool D opener at the City of Toyota Stadium on Monday.
Experienced lock Alun Wyn Jones will lead the side and equal the Welsh record for international caps of 129 held by Gethin Jenkins. Tomas Francis and Wyn Jones will scrum in the front row either side of hooker Ken Owens and Gatland expects them to be put under pressure. “With Aaron, he’s just a player that’s continued to improve. He’s incredibly athletic and an intelligent rugby player. Since his first cap 12 months ago, he’s just gone from strength to strength.”The halfback pairing sees Gareth Davies play alongside flyhalf Dan Biggar, while Hadleigh Parkes and Jonathan Davies make up the centre-pairing.
