Jenkins to lead Wales

18 Oct 2011

Prop Gethin Jenkins will captain Wales in Friday’s third-place play-off as Sam Warburton is unavailable due to suspension.

Warburton was banned for three weeks after being red-carded for a dangerous tackle in last Saturday’s semi-final. He will be replaced by Toby Faletau at openside flank, while Ryan Jones will come into the starting side at No 8.

Paul James replaces injured tighthead prop Adam Jones and Bradley Davies comes into the second row.

Wales – 15 Leigh Halfpenny; 14 George North, 13 Jonathan Davies, 12 Jamie Roberts, 11 Shane Williams; 10 James Hook, 9 Mike Phillips; 8 Ryan Jones, 7 Toby Faletau, 6 Dan Lydiate; 5 Luke Charteris, 4 Bradley Davies; 3 Paul James, 2 Huw Bennett, 1 Gethin Jenkins (c). Subs: 16 Lloyd Burns, 17 Ryan Bevington, 18 Alun Wyn Jones, 19 Andy Powell, 20 Lloyd Williams, 21 Stephen Jones, 22 Scott Williams
