Wales coach Warren Gatland has included four uncapped players in his 34-man squad for the upcoming Six Nations, the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) has confirmed.

Fly-half Gareth Anscombe, hooker Kristian Dacey, prop Rob Evans and centre Tyler Morgan have been selected for the tournament. There are also places for Scott Andrews and Gareth Davies, who missed the Autumn Internationals.



But James Hook and Adam Jones are among the players to have been left out. Hook has been overlooked in favour of the Cardiff Blues’ Anscombe.

The four uncapped players have been welcomed into the squad on Twitter by captain Sam Warburton and Jamie Roberts.



Wales will open their Six Nations campaign at home to England on Friday, Feb. 6 before away games with Scotland and France. Ireland will then visit the Millennium Stadium before the competition finishes away to Italy on Saturday, Mar. 21. Here is their full schedule, per the WRU’s official website.

Gatland is happy to have added some younger faces to his squad, with Wales also preparing for the World Cup later in the year. He told the WRU’s official website:

It’s great to be able to name such an experienced squad that also boasts some exciting young talent. The four uncapped players have all been going well for their respective regions and it will be good to see them in this environment and we hope they take the opportunity. They come into a squad packed with experience and that experience will be important to us over the next eight weeks and the year as a whole.
