Warren Gatland Makes Changes to Wales Squad

Warren Gatland has named a 34-player squad for Wales' upcoming Six Nations campaign, which begins against France on January 31. Key changes include Jac Morgan taking over the captaincy from the injured Dewi Lake, and the inclusion of uncapped players Ellis Mee and Dan Edwards, while notable absentees include Sam Costelow and Gareth Anscombe due to injuries. Gatland is focused on blending youth with experience, emphasizing the need for development and potential for upcoming tournaments, despite a record 12-match losing streak. The squad selection follows a disappointing performance in the Autumn Nations and the European Challenge Cup, which saw the Ospreys as the only Welsh team to secure a win. While Gatland faces challenges due to injuries, he remains optimistic about the squad's potential, highlighting the positive return of Elliot Dee. The Six Nations will serve as a critical test for Gatland, who may be navigating his final tournament as head coach.
