Wales tour squad

- Agency Staff

Wales coach Warren Gatland has named Cory Hill and Ellis Jenkins as co-captains of the 31man squad for the tour to the US and Argentina in June, the Welsh Rugby Union said on Tuesday.

Wales will take on SA in Washington DC on June 2 before they travel to Argentina for two Tests against the Pumas.

Cardiff Blues scrumhalf Tomos Williams was handed his first call-up.

“This summer is a great opportunit­y for this squad to get Test match game time under their belt and face Rugby Championsh­ip opposition,” Gatland said. “It shows the depth we have built in recent years that we have just one uncapped player in the squad in Tomos, but he has been in a number of squads so knows the environmen­t well.” /
