Gatland axes 3 Lions as Wales name team for Scotland

Warren Gatland has named a Wales team to play Scotland this Saturday in Edinburgh that shows five changes from last Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations round one loss to Ireland in Cardiff. The Welsh were beaten 10-34 at the Principality Stadium and Gatland has reacted by massively reshuffling his pack, the area of the team where all five changes have taken place.

Dafydd Jenkins, a sub last weekend, will make his first start for Wales, partnering Adam Beard in the Six Nations second row with veteran Alun Wyn Jones missing out despite being declared fit in midweek. The uncapped Rhys Davies is instead the lock named on the bench.

At loosehead, Wyn Jones is back having missed the Autumn Nations Series with an injury. He takes over from Gareth Thomas, who is omitted from the match day 23, while Dillon Lewis, a replacement versus the Irish, now starts at tighthead with Tomas Francis absent through injury. Leon Brown fills Lewis’ bench position.

    Joe Hawkins on his quick rise from U20s to senior Wales rugby in the Six Nations

    In the back row, Jac Morgan moves to No8 to accommodate Christ Tshiunza starting at blindside with Tommy Reffell named at openside. Taulupe Faletau drops to the bench with Justin Tipuric – the Autumn Nations Series skipper under dismissed boss Wayne Pivac – missing out altogether.

    With Jones, Faletau and Tipuric all dropped, it means that Gatland, the 2021 British and Irish Lions tour boss, has axed three of his picks from that tour to South Africa. Meanwhile, there is one bench change amongst the backs from round one, Rhys Patchell getting the nod as the reserve ahead of Owen Williams.

    Over five years ago, I lost access to two of my crypto wallets, which I hadn’t used in years. These wallets contained valuable crypto assets, but I had completely forgotten the passwords, recovery phrases, and security questions. After trying everything I could think of to regain access, I was left feeling hopeless, thinking my assets were gone forever. That’s when I came across ( Trust Geeks Hack Expert ), and I can honestly say they changed the course of my life. Initially, I was skeptical. The idea of recovering forgotten crypto wallets seemed almost impossible. However, from the first moment I contacted the team, I felt a sense of hope. The staff was incredibly professional, empathetic, and genuinely dedicated to helping me recover my wallets. They took the time to fully understand my situation, offering clear explanations and reassuring me that they could assist. The recovery process wasn’t immediate, but it was methodical and thorough. The team worked diligently, guiding me through every step of the process and explaining things in a way I could easily understand. At times, I felt frustrated, especially given how long it had been since I last used the wallets. But the ( Trust Geeks Hack Expert ) team remained patient, offering constant support, and helping me stay focused on the end goal. They made sure I felt secure throughout the entire process, which provided me with the confidence I needed to continue. Finally, after several weeks of hard work, I regained access to my wallets. It was an overwhelming and life-changing moment. Not only did I recover my crypto assets, but I also felt an immense sense of relief and accomplishment. What I thought was lost forever was now back in my hands. Thanks to the ( Trust Geeks Hack Expert ) team, I’m incredibly thankful for ( Trust Geeks Hack Expert ) expertise and dedication.
