🚨 Exciting news from Welsh rugby! 🚨 As Wales gears up for a thrilling match against Fiji at the Cardiff City Stadium, there are whispers of some last-minute changes in the lineup. With the squad hit by recent injuries, versatile back-rower Taine Plumtree is being considered for a shift to the second-row—a surprising move by coach Steve Tandy considering Plumtree’s usual role.
Plumtree, who joined the Scarlets from Auckland and has since earned 14 caps for Wales, could bring his athletic prowess to counter Fiji’s dynamic style. If he gets the nod, it’ll be his first Test start in the second-row, a position he last played during his time with Wellington in August 2022. Could his versatility be the game-changer Wales needs?
Adding to the intrigue, there’s uncertainty around the full-back position. Blair Murray wore the 15 jersey last week, but fans still have their eyes on Louis Rees-Zammit, who held the spot during the Six Nations. Rees-Zammit is nursing a minor niggle, but the question remains—will he return to full-back or make a switch back to the wing?
In other news, tighthead Ben Warren might make his Test debut, coming off a strong performance against the Barbarians. 🏉
