Wales have recalled Dragons hooker Elliot Dee to their squad as they prepare for Saturday's final autumn international against Australia.

Cardiff hooker Kirby Myhill has returned to his club after Dee proved his fitness when Dragons hosted Scarlets in an A game last Friday.

Dee injured his neck after being named in Wales' initial autumn squad.

When the experienced Ken Owens was also injured, coach Wayne Pivac called up Ulster's Bradley Roberts.

Myhill came on for Ryan Elias in the defeat against New Zealand while Roberts earned his debut cap as a replacement against the country of his birth, South Africa

But Elias was not brought off against Fiji, with Roberts Wales' only unused replacement on Sunday.

However, Pivac is still dealing with a lengthy injury list as he prepares Wales to face the Wallabies in Cardiff.

Lock Will Rowlands and props Tomas Francis and WillGriff John are going through head injury protocols, while winger Josh Adams was a late withdrawal before Wales beat Fiji with a calf strain suffered in the pre-match warm-up.
