Rob Howley has urged Wales supporters to give Dan Biggar time and space when he makes his Six Nations debut against Ireland on Saturday.
And Howley said: "Andrew has been on our radar over the last six months, really. He's a very good ball-carrier, his work-rate is second to none and he is excellent in the lineout. "The lineout game against Ireland is always important. When we've played against them recently there has always been a number of lineouts in the game. "We just need to have options in that area, and Andrew will certainly add to that part of the game." Coombs will partner fit-again Ian Evans at lock but Wales remain without injured second-rows Alun-Wyn Jones, Bradley Davies and Luke Charteris.
