Two Wales players pull out of South Africa game in late announcement

Wales have suffered a double blow ahead of today's match against South Africa, with wing Tom Rogers and prop Gareth Thomas both pulling out.

The news was announced little more than an hour before kick-off. Josh Hathaway and Nicky Smith have been promoted from the bench, with Owen Watkin and Kemsley Mathias now among the replacements.

Rogers had been one of Wales' standout performers in the defeat to Australia last weekend but has a calf injury, while Thomas is believed to be ill.
