<\/p>\n
Dan Biggar and Liam Williams have been passed fit to start Wales\u2019 World Cup quarter-final against Argentina on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Biggar has been struggling with a chest injury and Williams was a doubt because of a knee problem, but they have been given the all-clear for the Stade Velodrome showdown and start at fly-half and full-back respectively.<\/p>\n
There is no place in the 23 for Gareth Anscombe, however, after he was forced to withdraw 45 minutes before kick-off against Georgia last Saturday because of a groin issue.<\/p>\n
Taulupe Faletau\u2019s World Cup-ending broken arm sustained in the 43-19 victory over the Georgians has resulted in a reshuffle to the back row.<\/p>\n
Aaron Wainwright moves across from blindside flanker to fill the void at number eight created by Faletau\u2019s injury, while skipper Jac Morgan takes the number six shirt.<\/p>\n
Tommy Reffell comes into at openside to complete the back row adjustments against the Pumas.<\/p>\n
Wales head coach Warren Gatland believes his team have yet to hit top gear despite their pleasing progress through Pool C.<\/p>\n
We haven\u2019t had the perfect performance yet<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a goal of making the quarter-finals, which we have achieved. Now it\u2019s about building on that momentum,\u201d Gatland said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll our preparation has been geared to getting to this spot and we\u2019re very much relishing the opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re expecting another tough encounter this weekend against a physical Argentina side<\/p>\n
\u201cWe haven\u2019t had the perfect performance yet, but we have shown that we are a hard team to beat.\u201d<\/p>\n
