Cardiff Blues wing Alex Cuthbert has been recalled to the Wales team after recovering from an ankle injury for Saturday’s autumn international against Australia in Cardiff.

Cuthbert suffered an ankle injury during Cardiff Blues’ Heineken Cup victory over Toulon last month and missed the opening three November Tests against South Africa, Argentina and Tonga.

But his record at the highest level means he is rushed back for Saturday as Wales look to claim their first major southern hemisphere scalp since beating Australia five years ago.

Elsewhere flanker Dan Lydiate features in the back row with Justin Tipuric on the bench, while Dan Biggar wins Wales coach Warren Gatland’s fly-half vote ahead of Rhys Priestland, who is among the replacements.

Wales Leigh Halfpenny (Cardiff Blues), Alex Cuthbert (Cardiff Blues), Owen Williams (Cardiff Blues), Scott Williams (Scarlets), George North (Northampton Saints), Dan Biggar (Ospreys), Mike Phillips (Unattached), Gethin Jenkins (Cardiff Blues), Richard Hibbard (Ospreys), Rhodri Jones (Scarlets), Alun Wyn Jones (Ospreys), Ian Evans (Ospreys), Dan Lydiate (Racing Metro), Sam Warburton (Cardiff Blues, CAPT), Toby Faletau (Newport Gwent Dragons)
