Wales call up quartet for South Africa match

Cardiff Principality Stadium Date: Saturday, November Kick-off: 15:10 GMT

Steve Tandy’s Wales head coach has called up four players for Saturday’s final autumn international against South Africa, the world champions.

In a revised 30-man squad, Ospreys lock James Ratti, uncapped prop Garyn Phillips, Scarlets wing Ellis Mee, and Cardiff hooker Evan Lloyd are also included.

Due to a neck injury, head coach Steve Tandy is without Cardiff hooker Liam Belcher, but he anticipates that Aaron Wainwright, who had a hip problem, will return to action after missing the team’s 52-26 defeat to New Zealand.

This week, England or France lost 13 players who have since returned to their respective clubs.

Those who are based in England include Montpellier lock Adam Beard as well as Rhys Carre, Olly Cracknell, Archie Griffin, Nicky Smith, Dafydd Jenkins, Freddie Thomas, Tomos Williams, Jarrod Evans, Louie Hennessey, Max Llewellyn, Nick Tompkins, and Louis Rees-Zammit, all of whom are located there.

Nine of those Ospreys players are forwards, and Wales’ captain Jac Morgan is also out.
