(Reuters) - Wales have had to make a change in their front row for the test against South Africa at Twickenham on Saturday with tighthead prop Henry Thomas ruled out with a foot injury and replaced by Keiron Assiratti.

Harri O’Connor comes onto the bench in place of Assiratti for the clash against the world champions, with both teams fielding weakened sides as the fixture falls outside of the international window.
