Warren Gatland’s squad assembled this week ahead of the Autumn Nations Series, but have already picked up their first casualty with the 12-cap Carter returning to his club Dragons.

The 24-year-old Williams, who made his Wales debut against South Africa in a World Cup warm-up last year, has linked up with the camp as they prepare to take on Fiji at the Principality Stadium on November 10. That will be followed by clashes with Australia and world champions South Africa.
