- 9 years ago
Wales scrum-half Rhys Webb has been ruled out of the Rugby World Cup because of a foot injury.
Webb joins full-back Leigh Halfpenny in missing the tournament after being injured in Saturday's final warm-up game with Italy in Cardiff.
The 26-year-old is replaced by Lions scrum-half Mike Phillips while Ospreys wing Eli Walker is also drafted back in to the squad to take Halfpenny's spot.
Both were part of the extended training pool but did not make the final cut.
Webb posted a message on social media saying: "Really disappointed to be ruled out of the RWC.
After all the hard work I've put in over the summer, words can't describe how I'm feeling."
