Wales 31 Man World Cup Squad Announced

Warren Gatland names his 31 man World Cup Squad

He had this to say 

“Selection is always the toughest part of the job and that is especially true come RWC time.

“Reducing the squad down to 31 has been extremely hard especially when you look at the depth we have created and the amount of the work the training squad have put in, for some, 14 weeks of training.

“We are really happy with the final 31, we feel there is an excellent blend to the squad, in terms of talent, experience and age profile and we are all incredibly excited about heading to Japan and what lies ahead.

“These players have performed and delivered for Wales and deserve the opportunity to represent their nation at the game’s showpiece tournament.”
