Fly-half ruptured knee ligaments in August 2019‘He’s still got the fight and desire, if anything, probably more so’Gareth Anscombe will make a first Wales appearance since August 2019 and complete his recovery from a horror knee injury when he starts against
New Zealand, the country of his birth, on Saturday.
Anscombe had more than two years on the sidelines after rupturing knee ligaments against
England at Twickenham over two years ago. The 30-year-old finally returned to action with his new side Ospreys this season. Now he is ready for a Test comeback and Anscombe will be named as the Wales head coach Wayne Pivac’s playmaker on Thursday morning when he announces his side to face the All Blacks.
