OITA, Japan (Reuters) - Wales received a huge boost on Friday when centre Jonathan Davies was passed fit to take his place in the side for the Rugby World Cup quarter-final against France after recovering from a knee injury.

With flyhalf Dan Biggar and winger George North also emerging from injury clouds, coach Warren Gatland was able to name his strongest side, the same starting line-up which took the field in the 29-25 win over Australia in the pool phase.
