The Wales World Cup Squad Has Been Named And There's Some Surprises

The Wales World Cup Squad Has Been Named And There's Some Surprises

We're going to have to wait until tomorrow for the public announcement of the Ireland squad but here's the Wales one to get you through for another little while.

Warren Gatland has taken the somewhat surprising decision to include just two hookers in his squad in the form of Ken Owens and Scott Baldwin, while he has also chosen to go with five locks. The decision to go with just two hookers means Kristian Dacey is possibly the most surprising omission.

The good news for Wales fans is that Samson Lee has made the cut despite not having played since March.

Aside from Dacey, the other unlikely six to miss out are Ross Moriarty, Rob Evans, Scott Andrews, Tyler Morgan, Gareth Anscome, Eli Walker.
