North and Roberts available for Wales

North and Roberts available for Wales
George North makes a dash for the try line

Wales will have England‑based players George North and Jamie Roberts available to face Australia on 6 November after Premiership clubs agreed to a "one‑off" change of policy.

The game falls outside World Rugby's Test window, which contravenes English Premiership rules.

But Northampton wing North and Harlequins centre Roberts ‑ plus Wales' other England‑based players ‑ can play.

Bath number eight Taulupe Faletau would also be available to face Australia, but a knee injury means he is unlikely to play until the end of November.

All three players were included in Wales' squad for the November  Tests.
