Scrum-half Lloyd Williams and prop Paul James will return home from the Wales tour of New Zealand without playing a game after the first Test in Auckland on Saturday.

Scarlets scrum-half Aled Davies has already arrived in Auckland to replace Williams, who injured his ankle in training.

Ospreys prop Aaron Jarvis has also joined up with the squad and will provide cover for James, who has been struggling with a calf strain.
