“They’ll both be assessed by a consultant, so at this moment in time we’ve brought in James Hook and Gareth Anscombe,” said Wales assistant coach Rob Howley..
“James covers many positions – 12, 13, 10 and 15 – and Gareth with his experience in Super has that ability to play at 10 and 15 as well.
“We’re delighted to have both of them in the squad, the door opens for them.
“Obviously it’s a blow to lose another two players but the resilience, the character we showed in on Saturday, I’m sure you’ll see that in abundance over the next four of five weeks.
“We haven’t sat down to pick the Fiji side yet and whether James comes in to that mix or not we’ll have to wait and see.”
