Dragons RFC winger Rhys Cole and Bristol Bears loosehead prop George Leyland have been drafted into Wales U20’s World Rugby Junior World Championship squad due to injuries.

Dylan Scott suffered a leg injury in the opening exchanges of Wales’ second Pool A clash against Uruguay yesterday in Tblisi while Isaac Godfrey was forced to withdraw before the game after being initially named on the replacements bench.

Both Cole and Leyland will be in consideration for Tuesday’s showdown against defending champions South Africa.

The WRU wishes both Dylan and Isaac speedy recoveries to full fitness.
