Wasps No.8 Andy Powell is set to win a recall for Wales’ clash against South Africa on November 13, according to Graham Clutton in the Daily Telegraph .
“Despite missing out on a place in coach Warren Gatland's 33-man squad for the upcoming, four-match series, it is understood that Powell will be called up after the opening game against Australia a week on Saturday.
The former Cardiff Blues forward was not eligible for that game anyway, as the November 6 showdown falls outside of the international window. His inclusion will certainly beef up a Wales pack that will need to be at its best against the Springboks, Fijians and finally, on November 27, against New Zealand.
For Powell himself, who won the first of his 12 caps against South Africa in November 2008, it would represent a realistic opportunity to challenge for a place in Gatland's World Cup squad next autumn.”
