Wales has been forced to make a change to their Six Nations squad. Keiron Assiratti will miss the tournament due to a calf injury sustained while playing for Cardiff. As a result, Sam Wainwright has been called up to fill the void. This news comes as a blow to Wales, who are already dealing with several injuries to key players before the tournament begins.

Wainwright, who has four international caps, will now have the opportunity to make a significant impact. Wales head coach Steve Tandy expressed his disappointment for Assiratti but also his delight for Wainwright. Other tight-head options in the squad include Tomas Francis and Archie Griffin. Wales' campaign begins against England at Twickenham on February 7th.

Several other players are also sidelined due to injury, including captain Jac Morgan. Wales will be looking to improve on recent performances during the upcoming Six Nations. The team has a tough schedule ahead, facing England, Ireland, Scotland, France, and Italy. This year's tournament will be a test of their squad depth and resilience.
