Williams was surprisingly not among the 36 players named by Warren Gatland for the Tests against Australia, Georgia, New Zealand and South Africa.

The 27-year-old Scarlets centre could add to his 48 caps after all, as Morgan has been ruled out due to an ankle problem sustained in Dragons’ Pro14 defeat to Ospreys last weekend.

Wales released a short statement on Wednesday which said: “Tyler Morgan’s ankle injury sustained in the fixture for the Dragons against the Ospreys last weekend will preclude him from taking any part in the Under Armour Series.

“With this in mind he will continue his [injury rehabilitation] management at his region.

“Scarlets centre Scott Williams joined the squad this morning.”

"It seems like the idea of Ardie Savea moving to openside flanker is no longer on the table"


Says who? Savea was picked on the open side, with Wallace Sititi at 8, against France. It makes no difference to Savea’s game, whatsoever and allows Sititi to play in his preferred position. It also provides an option to bring in a third loose forward that may provide a better lineout option and a big body to compete with some of the big bodies found in other teams.


It was unfortunate that Finau was injured so early on against France before he had a chance to show how he might combine with Savea and Sititi, and there is still a possibility that Hoskins Sotutu might be effective alongside them too.


Don’t count out viable options.
