Wales waiting on Liam Williams ahead of All Blacks clash

Warren Gatland has confirmed Liam Williams is a doubt for Wales' clash with New Zealand after coming off injured in their win against Georgia on Saturday.

Wales take on the All Blacks next weekend in Cardiff, but their head coach fears they may have to do so without one of their star players.

Wales are already the underdogs for the clash with the world champions, who have won the last 29 matches between the two sides, and Williams' absence would only serve to make their task even harder.

Williams started all three of the Lions' Tests on their tour of New Zealand in the summer, and played his part in Sean O'Brien's memorable try in the first Test with a stunning solo run.

When asked about Williams' prospects of lining-up against the All Blacks, Gatland said: "I'm not sure about Liam Williams. He is hobbling around."

Gatland was more upbeat on the possibility of flanker Justin Tipuric featuring against New Zealand after he missed Wales' first two autumn internationals due to injury.
