Five uncapped players in for Wales warm-up

WALES head coach Robin McBryde has selected five uncapped players in his starting line-up for the pre-tour training match against RGC 1404 on Friday at Parc Eirias (7pm).

In the backs, Ospreys wing Keelan Giles and Scarlets scrum half Aled Davies will have a chance to impress and up front Ospreys lock Adam Beard will pack down in the second row for the first time alongside five times-capped Cory Hill.

Cardiff Blues’ Seb Davies will start at blindside flanker with Newport Gwent Dragons back row Ollie Griffiths starting at No 8.

Ellis Jenkins, whose three Tests to date came on last summer’s Tour to New Zealand completes the back row.

“Friday night’s match will give us a perfect chance to give certain players an opportunity and see new combinations working together ahead of the tour,” said McBryde.

“Some players need to prove fitness and form and this week’s training camp, along with the match is the ideal opportunity to do that.

Jamie Roberts captains the side and will partner Tyler Morgan in the centre.

The Guinness Pro12 winning Scarlets players will start on the bench along with the rest of the training squad including Ospreys prop Rhodri Jones and Scarlets outside half Rhys Patchell who have been adding pending scans to Samson Lee and Phil Dollman.
