OITA, Japan (Reuters) - Wales coach Warren Gatland said they would have to run players out of their usual positions after a bruising 29-17 win over Fiji booked a place in the World Cup quarter-finals but left flyhalf Dan Biggar groggy with a second head injury.

Biggar has been ruled out of the last pool game against Uruguay on Sunday after being forced from the field in the second half at Oita Stadium following a sickening collision with team mate Liam Williams.
