Who has made Warren Gatland's Wales squad for the Six Nations in 2025?
The Wales squad for the 2025 Six Nations has been announced by head coach Warren Gatland.
Jac Morgan has been confirmed as captain while veterans Josh Adams, Liam Williams and Taulupe Faletau all return to the side.
Among players to miss out include Gloucester duo Gareth Anscombe and Max Llewellyn, Dragons winger Rio Dyer and Cardiff’s Cam Winnett.
“We’ve selected a squad that we feel has a good blend of exciting young talent and experience,” Gatland said at the announcement.
“This group of players has a huge amount of potential and we will be working incredibly hard together this campaign. As ever there are going to be some very disappointed players who have missed out on selection. The message to them is keep working hard because you never know what may happen.”
Last year was a tournament to forget, finishing on the wrong side of a whitewash as they ended up with the Wooden Spoon. A poor summer and autumn tour then saw Wales finish 2024 with 12-consecutive defeats, the worst record in Wales’s 143-year history.
