🏉 Excitement is building as Wales unveils its team for the autumn international match against Argentina this Sunday! Making headlines is Louis Rees-Zammit, who returns to the national squad, joining the bench after a two-year pause. He last showcased his skills for Wales at the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Rhys Carre is also back on the field, slotting straight into the starting lineup.
Cardiff’s very own Alex Mann has earned the number six jersey, teaming up with Jac Morgan and Aaron Wainwright. Firming up the second row are Dafydd Jenkins and Adam Beard, while Dewi Lake and Kieron Assiratti are ready to dominate the front row. Tomos Williams pairs with Dan Edwards in the halves, and Ben Thomas and Max Llewellyn take charge in the centres. The back three are secured by Josh Adams, Tom Rogers, and Blair Murray.
There’s also excitement for Olly Cracknell, who is poised for his debut from the bench, alongside Jarrod Evans. Liam Belcher, Archie Griffin, Nicky Smith, and Freddie Thomas will provide front-row support, with Kieran Hardy as the substitute scrum-half.
Head Coach Steve Tandy expressed his enthusiasm, saying it’s a privilege to announce his first Wales squad. He looks forward to seeing the players express themselves and relish the opportunity to wear the cherished jersey. He’s particularly excited for Cracknell, describing him as the epitome of resilience and professionalism.
As anticipation grows, stay tuned for all the action this Sunday when Wales faces off against Argentina. C’mon Cymru! 🏴🏉
