Exciting Wales rugby update! 🏉 Louis Rees-Zammit won’t start in the upcoming match against Argentina, but there’s a shot he could be gracing the bench. He has a few fitness hurdles left after a stubborn foot injury kept him sidelined.
In a twist, Rhys Carre is making a triumphant comeback after being out of the Test picture for nearly three years! Carre, the powerhouse prop from Saracens, is back and ready to tackle the Pumas. His last appearance was during the 2023 Six Nations before being frozen out, but the slate has been wiped clean with Steve Tandy stepping in as the new head coach.
This match marks Tandy’s debut in charge, and with Carre’s return to the squad, it promises to be a thrilling showdown. The Welsh team has kept the same back-three that helped secure a win over Japan in Kobe earlier this year. Meanwhile, Ben Thomas and Max Llewellyn join forces again in the midfield, showcasing the grit that got them through the last Six Nations.
Dan Edwards wears the number 10 jersey again, paired with Tomos Williams who’s back in action post-Lions injury. The front-row line-up will see Carre alongside Dewi Lake and Keiron Assiratti. Second-row power comes from Dafydd Jenkins and Adam Beard, and the back-row trio includes Alex Mann, Aaron Wainwright, and captain Jac Morgan, fresh from his Lions campaign.
Potential Wales XV to battle Argentina: Blair Murray; Tom Rogers, Max Llewellyn, Ben Thomas, Josh Adams; Dan Edwards, Tomos Williams; Rhys Carre, Dewi Lake, Keiron Assiratti, Dafydd Jenkins, Adam Beard, Alex Mann, Jac Morgan, Aaron Wainwright.
Replacements: Liam Belcher, Nicky Smith, Archie Griffin, Freddie Thomas, Taine Plumtree, Kieran Hardy, Callum Sheedy, Louis Rees-Zammit.
