Wales have called Gloucester fly‑half James Hook into their November Tests squad following injury to Dan Biggar.

Biggar left the field during Wales' 33-28 defeat by Australia with a groin injury.

Hook, with 76 caps, was initially omitted from coach Warren Gatland's plans for games against the Wallabies, Fiji and New Zealand.

New Cardiff recruit Gareth Anscombe arrived in Wales yesterday.

But after defeat by the Wallabies, Gatland said the Welsh-qualified player will not be considered for the remaining November Tests.

Wales could also have Jonathan Davies and Scott Williams back in contention to face Fiji.

Fiji takes on Wales at 3.30am Sunday.

In other international test matches on Sunday, England take on South Africa at 3.30am, NZ play Scotland at 6.30am while Australia take on France at 9am.
