Davies urged to reverse retirement for World Cup

Gareth Davies has been urged to rethink his international retirement for the 2027 World Cup by former Wales team-mate Scott Baldwin. The 36-year-old scrum-half sparked a Scarlets comeback from 21-7 down to beat Benetton in the United Rugby Championship on Saturday. Davies retired from Test rugby in 2024 but ex-Wales hooker Baldwin believes the veteran could still thrive at a fourth World Cup next year. "He could be just what you want in a quarter-final of a World Cup, in a Wales-England fixture in 12 months' time," Baldwin told BBC Radio Wales Sport .
