🏉 *Rugby Fans, Let’s Dive Into Today’s Hot Picks (and Misses)!* 🏉
The buzz in Welsh rugby circles today is all about head coach Steve Tandy’s Six Nations squad announcement. With a hefty roster of 38 players, there are quite a few surprises and some big names not making the cut. Here’s a quick rundown of the juiciest bits!
**Big Return:** Tomas Francis, with his 77 caps, is back after his stint in France. Now with Sale Sharks, his return is highly anticipated.
**Surprise Inclusion:** Leicester Tigers’ Gabriel Hamer-Webb is on board as an uncapped player! Tandy seems impressed with this young wing and his explosive skills.
**Notable Omissions:**
– **Tommy Reffell**: Despite strong performances for Leicester, Reffell is missing again. Josh Macleod takes his place, showing Tandy’s interest in Scarlets’ leadership on the field.
– **Rio Dyer**: With a stunning four tries in his last four games, Dyer’s exclusion to make room for Hamer-Webb is a head-scratcher for many.
– **Callum Sheedy**: After making a comeback in the autumn squad, Sheedy misses out thanks to Sam Costelow’s stellar form.
– **Jake Ball & Ross Moriarty**: Both veterans return to Welsh rugby this season, but Tandy seems focused on nurturing younger talent.
**Future Hopefuls:** Young stars like Morgan Morse and potential bolters such as Che Hope didn’t make it this time, but keep an eye out — their time will come!
