Warren Gatland, the head coach of Wales, has announced his squad to face Scotland in the Six Nations, which includes two uncapped players. Full-back Cameron Winnett will start the match, joining Josh Adams and Rio Dyer in the back three. Another new face in the squad is back-row Alex Mann, who has impressed in the United Rugby Championship and Champions Cup this season.

Gatland described Winnett as a "lovely footballer" and expressed his belief that he will develop into a quality international player. The team is generally inexperienced, with only a few players having more than 23 caps. The match will be played with the roof open, a decision that Gatland finds disappointing in terms of the atmosphere in the stadium.

Science has no agreed explanation for what happens between twins. It has documented the phenomenon too many times to dismiss it and not enough times to define it. What happened to Nadia and Sonja Berglund on the night of February 11th, 2022, doesn't need a definition. It just needs to be heard.

Dr. Elena Voss dedicated two decades to a village that every colleague told her was fictional — a clerical error in a 14th century land register, a scribe's mistake, a ghost in the archive. She kept working anyway. In 2022, a farmer's drainage ditch proved every one of her colleagues wrong.
