Wales coach Steve Tandy is set to name his Six Nations squad after a final round of club performances. Players like Rio Dyer and Owen Watkin impressed over the weekend, boosting their chances. Dyer’s form for Dragons and Watkin’s return from injury strengthen their cases.

The squad naming comes amid key absences. Taulupe Faletau is ruled out of the opening matches, creating space for emerging talent. Meanwhile, Exeter’s Kane James suffered a cruel ankle injury, dashing hopes of a call-up despite his potential.

Experienced players such as Ross Moriarty and Jake Ball remain in contention. Youngsters like Che Hope and Sam Costelow are pushing for inclusion. Tandy faces tough decisions as he balances youth and experience ahead of the Six Nations opener against England.
