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:

Forwards: Ryan Bevington (Ospreys), Rhys Gill (Saracens), Emyr Phillips (Scarlets), Scott Baldwin (Ospreys), Scott Andrews (Blues), Craig Mitchell (Exeter Chiefs), Rhodri Jones (Scarlets), Bradley Davies (Blues), Lou Reed (Blues), Andrew Coombs (Dragons), James King (Ospreys), Aaron Shingler (Scarlets), Dan Baker (Ospreys), Rob McCusker (Scarlets), Andries Pretorius (Blues).

Backs: Lloyd Williams (Blues), Tavis Knoyle (Scarlets), Dan Biggar (Ospreys), Rhys Patchell (Blues), Ashley Beck (Ospreys), Owen Williams (Blues), Jonathan Spratt (Ospreys), Dafydd Howells (Ospreys), Liam Williams (Scarlets), Harry Robinson (Blues), Tom Prydie (Dragons), Steven Shingler (London Irish).

Cracking player, must be confident because he hit the 8 off the ruck to create the turnover, not much of an 8 however but still! Like Tanaka a lot, he is the antithesis of Lloyd Williams!!

Oh and if one more kick goes over our back 3's head I am going to scream, 4 times you Frak morons, drop a few yards deeper!

Who is this gimp? Play the power game, ones and twos, chew my face off, make excuses it's the leaders fault not mine, we'll wait and see, Alan Phillips FECK OFF!

Wales would lose one spot if they lose.

Japan played last week, I can see Wales doing better in the second half and ending up with a decent win

Disappointing to let that try in before half time, but I hope Wales will settle down later on in the second half. 1 Penalty to Wales and it's only a 2 point game.

If Japan get a quick try in the second half though, for me it's all over Sad.

Was supposed to be driving out this morning, but had to cancel due to work callling on me today and in the morning, can't really justify the trip as I fly to Oz in a few days - gutted though was really looking forward to it.

If they lose, they will be known as the first side of a top 10 nation to lose to Japan

However long their career, they will alway show their first cap as come in Wales first ever lose to Japan

It's like the All Blacks never wanted to be the side that lost to Ireland or Wales for the first time in 50 years.

I imagine because Wales are so far ahead of Japan, they'll lose the full 2 points if they lose (3 points if it were to be over 15 points).

The rankings do not distinguish between a full strength and this Wales team. It's a Wales team in a full international, and that's all the rankings consider.

Only met him once, and that interview was far happier, polite and likeable than I remember, he is sadly everything that is wrong with the Welsh game!

No, that's ridiculous. Wales are on 83.36. The absolute maximum they can lose is 3 points, which would see the above Samoa who are 7th. And definitely above Ireland who are 9th and can't get much from their game.

Bluesman, I just think a big issue is lack of game together and think they'll get stronger as the game goes on.

I hope that scrum half knows there's a penalty when box kicks into the 22.

Phew, got a little more ammo in the "your players are foreign" insightful debates that happen these days.

I was all for McBryde going with youth on this tour especially with us not having an A Side for them to get exposure at but his choice of backrow was very poor.

We desperately need an out an out 7 there and both Coombes and King have played most the season in the 2nd row and McCusker well enough said.

Andrews is going well and still surprising me time to give Gill and Prydie a run I think.

Lots of mistakes from this Wales A side. Hopefully the seniors will play better later.

At least the backs are hitting the rucks to even things out. Well done Williams

Thats the prob its not an A Side according to the books it will be a full Welsh that on this performance so far is likely to record its first ever loss to Japan.

Maybe they should have dubbed it as an A/Development Side.

Japan on the attack again. Wales haven't looked even close to scoring a try at all. Sad to see because there's some good individual players out there. Just poorly coached it seems.
