Warren Gatland is expected to make a surprising addition to the Welsh rugby squad ahead of their clash against Italy, according to former captain Sam Warburton. The news comes following an injury to Owen Watkin, leaving a gap in the centre position. Speculation suggests that Gatland may call up Max Llewellyn from Gloucester to fill the void.
Llewellyn’s exclusion from the squad thus far has raised eyebrows among fans and pundits. Despite his strong form for Gloucester, he was initially overlooked by Gatland. However, Warburton believes that the current circumstances might prompt the coach to reconsider and bring Llewellyn into the fold.
Scotland secured a victory over Italy in their opening Six Nations match with a stellar performance led by Huw Jones, who scored a hat-trick. After a tight contest, Scotland emerged victorious with a final score of 31-19. This win sets the stage for an exciting tournament ahead for the Scottish team.
In a separate fixture, Brython Thunder suffered a heavy defeat against Clovers, losing 58-0. The loss adds to a series of defeats for Brython Thunder in the ongoing Celtic Challenge. The team continues to struggle, with only a few Wales internationals in their lineup.
Former England head coach Stuart Lancaster has parted ways with Racing 92 after a disappointing run that saw the team struggle both in Europe and domestically. Racing 92 issued a statement confirming Lancaster’s departure, thanking him for his contributions and wishing him the best for the future.
Meanwhile, Wallabies star Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii was forced to withdraw from a club friendly due to a knee problem. Suaalii made a strong impression during his debut for Australia and was expected to feature in the pre-season match for the Waratahs. However, the club decided to err on the side of caution with the talented player.
Looking ahead, fans are eager to see how the Welsh rugby squad evolves in light of Gatland’s potential lineup changes. With the Six Nations tournament well underway, every match counts, and the stakes are high for all participating teams. Stay tuned for more updates and developments in the world of rugby.
