Wales name their RWC 7s squad for this weekend's tournament in San Francisco

Wales have named their squad for this weekend's Rugby World Cup Sevens in San Francisco (20th-22nd July).

It is one last hurrah for captain Adam Thomas, Wales' stalwart who will be competing in the Principality Premiership next season.

Bolstering a squad of World Series regulars such as Ethan Davies, Owen Jenkins, Luke Treharne, Ben Roach and Will Talbot-Davies are Cardiff Blues' Lloyd Williams and Ospreys' Cory Allen. The duo - capped 23 and six times respectively for Wales in 15s - recently helped Wales to the Exeter Sevens quarter-final as part of their World Cup preparations.

One of the Pro14's biggest young prospects, the Dragons and former Wales U20 back Jared Rosser, is selected; as is Tom Williams, who has made a strong impact in his final sevens season before returning to Ospreys on a full-time basis next season.

RGC's Afon Bagshaw and Cai Devine have both captained Wales in Rugby Europe this season, their maturity and development impressing their coaches and cementing their place in the final tournament of the season.

Wales will face Zimbabwe in the 'pre-round of 16' matches at 22:00 BST this Friday, with the knockout format significantly increasing the stakes in this year's tournament.


Wales Sevens: Luke Treharne, Ethan Davies, Lloyd Williams, Luke Morgan, Owen Jenkins, Tom Williams, Cory Allen, Afon Bagshaw, Adam Thomas, Cai Devine, Jared Rosser, Ben Roach, Will Talbot-Davies.
