🏉 Big shake-up for Wales’ Six Nations squad! Head Coach Steve Tandy has released 10 players back to their club teams during the tournament’s fallow week. Sadly, Ospreys lock Rhys Davies won’t be returning due to an ankle injury. 🏥
Rhys, who was a late call-up to the squad, has yet to make his mark on the field in this Six Nations campaign before sustaining his injury in training. Meanwhile, nine others, including Cardiff’s Liam Belcher, Ben Thomas, and Mason Grady and Ospreys’ Reuben Morgan-Williams, are heading back to their clubs for upcoming United Rugby Championship matches.
Cardiff faces off against Leinster, Ospreys take on Ulster, and the Scarlets are set to compete against Edinburgh. All released players are expected to rejoin the Wales camp by March 1st in preparation for the crucial clash against Ireland on March 6th.
Injuries are mounting for Tandy, as key players Sam Costelow and Taine Plumtree are likely out for the rest of the tournament after being forced off in the game against Scotland. 😞 After the match, Tandy revealed that Costelow was not able to put weight on his leg, while Plumtree deals with a challenging shoulder issue. Both are awaiting further scans.
Tandy’s squad may see some fresh faces after this weekend’s club action, depending on further assessments. Stay tuned for more updates as Wales aims for a strong finish in the Six Nations!
