Wales Names Squad for Six Nations 2025

Warren Gatland has announced a 34-player Wales squad for the upcoming 2025 Six Nations Championship, highlighting a mix of returning experienced players and promising newcomers amidst ongoing injury challenges. Notable absences include captain Dewi Lake, who is sidelined with an injury, while key players such as Josh Adams and Taulupe Faletau return to the lineup. Gatland expressed optimism about the squad's potential, emphasizing the importance of their hard work and preparation ahead of their opening match against France on January 31. The squad includes two uncapped players, Dan Edwards and Ellis Mee, and eight others poised to make their Six Nations debuts. The average age of the squad is 26, reflecting a balance of experience and youth aimed at revitalizing Welsh rugby after a difficult previous year. The tournament is expected to be a significant test for Gatland and his team as they seek to rebuild after a series of disappointing performances.
