Dragons centre Tyler Morgan has been ruled out of Wales' autumn internationals and Scott Williams has therefore been called into the squad.

The 22-year-old will miss the fixtures against Australia, Georgia, New Zealand and South Africa after sustaining an ankle problem during the Dragons' PRO14 defeat to Ospreys last week.

Scarlets centre Williams, who was left out of Warren Gatland's initial 36-man squad, has received a recall as a replacement for Morgan.

A WRU statement on Wednesday read: "Tyler Morgan's ankle injury sustained in the fixture for the Dragons against the Ospreys last weekend will preclude him from taking any part in the Under Armour Series.

"With this in mind he will continue his management at his region.
