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).

Wales are shocking, I haven't seen us play this badly for years. This team can't even do basic passing without messing it up.

Coombs has offered more than his other back rowers and Reed and has more experience and he gets hooked. Get bent McBryde. You are out of your depth.

They're not playing as a team. Not really surprising.

Agree Coombs has been the best backrower by a mile, why he came off for Pretorious I don't know, I wouldve put him to 6,8 or either lock positions!

Re: Wales Tour of Japan
Japan are starting to look a little tired now and seem to be falling off tackles a bit, hopefully we can take the game now.
Personally if i was the Japanease coach now, I'd throw all my subs on to freshen then up.

Re: Wales Tour of Japan
Now Wales have taken the lead you'd back them to see it out. But will this inexperienced team have that level of calmness to see the job done?
Wales looked for a quick one in Japan's 22 but it was Biggar who came over, demanded the ball and pointed at the posts. He could be key.

I'm loving the commentary - not sure why, but he makes it seem like I'm watching rugby in the 70s or something.
He's a commentator, but not the polished, elocuted peacocks we have today.

He normally does the commentary for S4C. I like him, he's a bit old school.

In fairness, Patchell is not a great centre - probably better than Spratt though

Isn't it Nigel Starmer Smith, I thought he's normally on HTV with Ieuan Evans or Gareth Edwards.
