Wales defence coach Shaun Edwards suggested that Faletau is likely to play off the bench as he mentioned the difference England centre Ben Te’o made as a substitute for England against France last week.
“Taulupe will be available for selection,” Edwards told the Bath Chronicle.
“Ben Te’o made an impact when he came on for England.
“Games can be decided in the last 20.“
