PRESS RELEASE FROM THE WELSH RUGBY UNION:
WALES ANNOUNCE JAPAN TOUR SQUAD
Cardiff Blues lock Bradley Davies will lead Wales in the forthcoming two-test tour of Japan.
The 26-year-old was named captain as Head Coach for the Japan tour Robin McBryde reduced his initial training squad down to a 27-man touring party.
The squad includes nine uncapped players including Ospreys duo Dafydd Howells and Dan Baker and Blues fly-half Rhys Patchell.
Props Ryan Bevington (Ospreys), Scott Andrews (Blues) and Craig Mitchell (Exeter Chiefs) who all featured for Wales in the 2013 RBS 6 Nations are joined by Saracens’ Rhys Gill and Rhodri Jones (Scarlets).
Uncapped pair Emyr Phillips (Scarlets) and Scott Baldwin (Ospreys) are named as hookers.
Davies returns to the squad after missing the Six Nations campaign due to injury and is named alongside Andrew Coombs (Dragons), Lou Reed (Blues) and James King (Ospreys).
Baker, 20, who featured 25 times for Swansea in the Principality Premiership this season, joins Scarlets duo Aaron Shingler and Rob McCusker and Blues captain Andries Pretorius.
Lloyd Williams (Blues) and Tavis Knoyle (Scarlets) are named at scrum-half alongside Dan Biggar (Ospreys) and Patchell at fly-half.
In the backline Ospreys trio Ashley Beck, Jonathan Spratt and 18-year-old Howells are joined by Blues duo Owen Williams and Harry Robinson, Liam Williams (Scarlets), Tom Prydie (Dragons) and Steven Shingler (London Irish).
Wales face Eddie Jones’ Japan in Osaka on June 8th and then in Tokyo on June 15th and McBryde has been impressed with his squad over the past ten days.
“We’ve had the training squad together for more than a week and we’ve been impressed,” said McBryde.
“They have really put the effort in and stepped up as we have asked them to. Everyone in the training squad put their hand up for selection making our jobs much harder.
“It’s a chance for these players now to experience the international test environment and put their marker down.
Wales Squad:

Very soft, Mccusker made contact with a potential ball carrier, there was little in it tbh, but the ref has a whistle at Wales mindset right now!
Doesn't help when the lineout is awfull, and we are giving ball away too easily
Don't think it's a whistle at wales mindset at all, wales are just being very lazy all over the park.

Someone give Owen Williams some space and a ball to run onto

Can't pick it up if you're in a ruck. Ok if you're the last man and unwind from ruck but that's it. Not always picked up.
Cari, there is no TMO for this game

Judging by player and commentator reaction they thought he was the last man

Inexperience not waiting for advantage from that scrum
Then they lose it at the first breakdown
Get Pretorious on at 6 and Baker at 8

If Navidi doesn't start next week, someone crucify McBride
And a warning, players mouthing off.
Poor Bradley, he has been doing everything he can.
Wait, where is Shane! Someone get him on the pitch!

Who are wales back row replacements? As the ones on the pitch are not doing much at the rucks. Japan free to turn over every ruck.
Strange call by the ref there, pen try?

2 no8s!
Although Pretorious is a better 6 if you ask me.
This is a disaster and McBride is solely to blame for not selecting a an openside

The TV clock usually goes off the TMO doesn't it? So without one the displayed time will probably be wrong.

Re: Wales Tour of Japan
No offence to the Japanese, they have been strong, but they're offering little to the breakdown and they almost have shocked looks on their faces as they pick the ball up unoposed...
King and Mccusker are way off the pace, both missing key defencive positions at the set peice, they are miles away from the breakdown and are acting like locks!
Davies is playing well individually but leading very poorly!
Front row look ok actually, but Reed looks slow, and Lloyd Williams is just so astounding as a pro SH, let alone repeated international SH!
I feel bad for the backline outside Biggar, they have tries in them if they can get a platform!!!
Total mess of a performance so far, undercoached, undercooked, and Mccbride has to take the blame for having no backrowers in the squad!

God, that would be ridiculous - Wales win 2 six nations and drop to 10th in the World (or whatever it would be) because their 3rd/4th choice team and 3rd choice coach is awful.
