Wales name two newbies in callow 23 as Gatland aims dig at Scotland

2024/02/02 Report

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.
