James Davies and Josh Adams are the uncapped players included in a 39-man Wales squad named for the Six Nations. Coach Warren Gatland has named Scarlets flanker Davies and Worcester wing Adams for the first time, but there is no place for veteran centre Jamie Roberts.

Former Ospreys wing Tommy Bowe has announced he is to retire at the end of the season. Currently out injured with a shoulder problem, Bowe, 33, is arguably Ireland and Ulster’s greatest ever wing, but spent a good chunk of his peak years with the Welsh region. Out of form and suffering a career dip at his native Ulster, Bowe moved to the Ospreys in 2008 and went on to re-ignite his fortunes with 36 tries in 77 appearances.
Scarlets coach Wayne Pivac expects his region to dominate the Wales squad for the Six Nations when it is announced on Tuesday morning at 11am.

That representation in the national squad could be swelled further next season if George North opts to return to Llanelli from Northampton, with Pivac having confirmed he has held talks with the Lions wing over his national dual contract location.
Former Newport County goalkeeper Lewis Watkins sparked big celebrations among his Cwmbran Celtic team-mates with a crucial penalty save against Briton Ferry Llansawel. Tyler Brock stepped up to take the 10th penalty of a Nathaniel Car Sales League Cup shootout and Watkins guessed right to save and send his jubilant team into the semi-finals. The […]
Ryan Giggs reckons being named the Wales manager for the next four years was “the proudest moment of my life”. And the man who made the first of his 64 Welsh appearances as a 17-year-old back in 1991 vowed to win over the fans who have criticised him for missing so many friendlies during his playing career “by winning matches”.
The appointment of Ryan Giggs as Wales’ new manager has not met with universal approval from the fans who remember those missed friendlies when he was a player. Dai Sport’s Alun Rhys Chivers is one of the doubters and asks whether it is just a publicity stunt by the FAW.

Scarlet fever is set to sweep Wales this week and threaten to dump three time champions RC Toulon out of the Champions Cup on Saturday. With more than half of the 14,500 capacity at Parc Y Scarlets already sold, the Guinness PRO12 champions are confident they can break their European record gate of 13,183 against Munster in 2011 as they seek to reach the knock-out stages for the first time in 11 years. The maths are simple for head coach Wayne Pivac – reverse the 21-20 defeat at Stade Felix Mayol in round one and they are through the quarter-finals. Having pasted Bath 35-17 with four thrilling tries on Friday night, they will go into the game full of confidence.
Dan Biggar has insisted the Ospreys made the right choice in opting to take a draw against Saracens in order to keep their European Champions Cup quarter-final hopes alive. The Wales fly-half kicked a late penalty to tie the scores against the defending champions at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday night. The 15-15 draw means the Ospreys can finish top of Pool Two and make the knockout stages if they beat Clermont Auvergne in France this weekend.
