🏉 Exciting times ahead for Welsh rugby as Steve Tandy is set to announce his squad for the autumn internationals! Expect to see some fresh faces along with the comeback of seasoned players who’ve missed out recently. Rising star Tom Bown is making waves with his sensational start to the season, scoring five tries already. Former Wales player James Hook is all for his inclusion in the squad: “Tom’s got the spark we need to ignite the team!”
Meanwhile, Louis Rees-Zammit’s return is on the cards, despite a foot injury from club play. Fingers crossed for his quick recovery as Wales prepare to face Argentina on November 9.
Disheartened England fans, brace yourselves – Steve Borthwick has confirmed that Tom Willis won’t be appearing for England this season. Willis, having opted for a future in French rugby, remains sidelined from the squad due to his career choices. Borthwick wants to focus on players committed to the 2027 World Cup journey.
On a high note, Nicky Smith was named in Planet Rugby’s team of the week for his stellar performance in Leicester Tigers’ nail-biting victory over Bath. Smith’s powerful scrum play was praised as “utterly ridiculous”!
In Ireland, harmony reigns despite the fiery Leinster-Munster clash over the weekend. 🟢 Assistant coach John Fogarty assures fans that the team spirit is solid as they gear up for their next face-off against the All Blacks in Chicago. Injuries have hit the squad, with notable absences, but fresh call-ups keep the momentum going.
Scarlets fans, mark your calendars! A friendly against Harlequins is scheduled for November 21 at The Stoop. This match promises a chance for injured players to regain their match fitness.
Stay tuned for all the action! #WelshRugby #RugbyUnion #AutumnInternationals #RugbyAction
