WALES v IRELAND

WALES~

WHO’S PLAYING?

GREAT NEWS FOR WALES FANS TODAY~
OUR CAPTAIN ALUN-WYN JONES IS FIT TO LEAD WALES v IRELAND <3

Big Al has not played since he damaged his knee against Italy on December 5th in the Autumn Nations Cup and was initially expected to miss the start of the Six Nations. Alun-Wyn will be partnering ADAM BEARD who is also returning to the Wales side.


A BIG WALES FAVOURITE RETURNS
Flanker DAN LYDIATE plays his first international game for more than two years!

ALSO BACK
Hooker KEN OWENS has recovered from a shoulder injury which caused him to miss the Autumn Campaign.

LOUIS REES-ZAMMIT & HALLAM AMOS WILL TAKE THE WINGS

JOSH NAVIDI has recovered from concussion and will be on the bench



WHO’S NOT PLAYING?

JOSH ADAMS
And rightly so!
Josh has received a 2 game suspension for breaking Covid protocol by attending a family gathering. Now we ALL want to see our families!!! :-0
Josh, who will be missed for his skills as an exciting winger, said it was an “error in judgement” and he has apologised.


LIAM WILLIAMS
Liam Williams will miss Wales' opening Six Nations game after being given a three-match ban for his red card in Scarlets' Pro14 derby defeat by Cardiff Blues.
British and Irish Lions back Williams was sent off for his dangerous entry into a ruck making head on head contact with Cardiff Blues flanker Shane Lewis-Hughes.
I SAW THIS LIVE ... AND OOOOO IT WAS NOT GOOD! :-0
Liam was seen apologising to Shane and shaking hands after the game.


JONATHAN DAVIES
Jon’s suffering from an ankle problem and his place at Centre will be taken by GEORGE NORTH. George has proved himself capable of doing a good job in that position as well as on the wing.

That's great Hilary <3
