Alongside the Six Nations Championship runs a Six Nations Championship for our youngsters.

They are not always televised, but always interesting to see when they are.

Many of our national squads have youngsters that have come up through the ranks from the Under 20s squads.

WALES' TEAM TO FACE IRELAND ON SUNDAY UP SHORTLY!

Warren Gatland has chosen his men to face the Irish on Sunday


WALES ...... HERE IS YOUR TEAM!

Backs:
15. Gareth Anscombe
14. George North
13. Jonathan Davies
12. Jamie Roberts
11. Tom James
10. Dan Biggar
9. Gareth Davies

Forwards:
1. Rob Evans
2. Scott Baldwin
3. Samson Lee
4. Luke Charteris
5. Alun Wyn Jones
6. Sam Warburton (Captain)
7. Justin Tipuric
8. Taulupe Faletau.

Replacements:
16. Ken Owens
17. Gethin Jenkins,
18. Tomas Francis
19. Bradley Davies
20. Dan Lydiate
21. Lloyd Williams
22. Rhys Priestland
23. Alex Cuthbert.


An interesting choice!

SAM WARBURTON returns from injury as CAPTAIN.

There has been much debate going on about whether DAN LYDIATE or JUSTIN TIPURIC would get the number 7 shirt, with experts arguing each one's case. It has gone to Justin Tipuric this time, with Dan on the bench.

In fact, a lot of the big names like GETHIN JENKINS, and KEN OWENS are also on the bench, with ROB EVANS and SCOTT BALDWIN taking their respective positions.

Interestingly, LIAM WILLIAMS, who played his first game for the Scarlets last weekend following his foot injury at the World Cup, has not been placed on the bench as everyone expected.

Former Welsh Athlete, TOM JAMES, has been chosen for left wing, while GEORGE NORTH is playing at right wing and not ALEX CUTHBERT.

And it's GARETH ANSCOMBE that has taken the Full Back Position!
We wish Gareth well, but WE MISS OUR LITTLE LEIGH HALFPENNY!

It's also great to see the return of JONATHAN DAVIES who was another injured player. He will resume his formidable partnership with JAMIE ROBERTS at 12 and 13.

SO THAT'S OUR TEAM, WALES!
