TOULON, France (Reuters) - Wales' influential flyhalf Dan Biggar will start this weekend's Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Argentina in Marseille with Tommy Reffell named on Thursday in place of the injured Taulupe Faleatu.

Biggar plays for the first time since hurting a pectoral muscle in the 40-6 thrashing of Australia on Sept. 24 and his inclusion is a major boost for Welsh hopes of reaching a third semi-final in the last four editions of the World Cup.
