Three players make undeniable case for Wales squad as potential surprise emerges

Steve Tandy will name his Wales squad for the second instalment of the Nations Championship in the coming days, with a handful of players capable of challenging the established order. The back row is one area where Wales have strength in depth, but Taine Basham has made an undeniable case for inclusion and should be selected. Basham won the last of his 17 Wales caps against England in 2024, but has been outstanding for Cardiff over the past year.
