Big rugby news today! Kane James, previously with the England U20s, has made the bold move to play for Wales. Born in Haverfordwest, the 21-year-old Exeter Chiefs back rower turned down England’s Steve Borthwick to answer the call from Wales coach Steve Tandy. Kane’s thrilled, saying it’s a “huge moment” for his family, and can’t wait for the Nations Championship.
Meanwhile, former Wales player Ian Gough is puzzled by Ross Moriarty’s omission from the Wales squad. Even after a standout bench performance for the Ospreys, Moriarty didn’t make Tandy’s 48-man team. But fans are pleased to see Tommy Reffell back in action!
Also making headlines is Harrison Keddie, who’s finally earned his first Wales call-up at 29. Known for his resilience, Keddie’s journey from the Wales U20s Grand Slam victory to now is inspiring. Praised for his dedication and skills, Tandy believes Keddie’s inclusion “raises the ceiling” for the team.
In other exciting news, Jac Morgan returns to the Wales squad post-injury. Ospreys coach Mark Jones couldn’t speak highly enough of Morgan after his exceptional performance against Scarlets, and it’s great to see him back on the field.
