Wales coach Warren Gatland says all his players are fit for selection to face Fiji in their World Cup opener on Sunday in Bordeaux.

All the players in the 33-man squad trained in the early part of the session on Tuesday.

Co-captain Dewi Lake, Taulupe Faletau, Ryan Elias, Dafydd Jenkins and Gareth Anscombe were injury doubts.

Gatland will name his side on Friday in Bordeaux, a day after the squad travel there from their Versailles base.

Lake, Jenkins and Elias picked up injuries during Wales' three World Cup warm-up games.

Faletau and Anscombe were not involved at all because of calf and hand problems respectively.

After their Pool C opener against Fiji, Wales face further group games against Portugal, Australia and Georgia with all Gatland's side's rivals familiar foes on the global stage.
