Wales head coach Warren Gatland has named his 37-man squad for the Summer Internationals against South Africa and Australia with no captain confirmed yet.

World Cup captains Jac Morgan and Dewi Lake return to the fold after missing the 2024 Six Nations through injury, while previous skipper Dafydd Jenkins is also in the squad.

Josh Hathaway and Elis Bevan are among those to receive first call ups, while Cory Hill returns after three years away from international rugby.

The other uncapped members of the squad are back three players Jacob Beetham of Cardiff Rugby and Keelan Giles of Ospreys.

Josh Adams, Ryan Elias and Will Rowlands are not included as they have been given a break for this summer of international rugby.

It appears Jacob Beetham, Sam Parry, and Cory Hill are the beneficiaries of that decision.

Ben Thomas, arguably the best player in regional rugby this season, is included as competition for incumbent fly-half Sam Costelow.

With no other out-and-out fly-half in the squad, Thomas will be required to play some minutes outside of his prefered inside centre role – the position he has played in most during the season for Cardiff.

Scarlets back Ioan Lloyd, who started the Six Nations in the number 10 jersey, has been left out.

With notable absentees in the second row for the South Africa game, including captain Dafydd Jenkins, Adam Beard, and Will Rowlands, Matthew Screech, Ben Carter, and Hill are in line to feature at Twickenham Stadium.

With Henry Thomas and Dillon Lewis also unavailable for the South Africa game, Gatland has picked five tighthead props, with Archie Griffin, Keiron Assiratti, and Harri O’Connor joining Thomas and Lewis in the squad.

The back row is notable for its absentees: Morgan Morris continues to be overlooked by the Wales set-up, with Alex Mann also left out of the tour.

Wales play South Africa on June 22nd before embarking on a three-match tour of Australia in July, facing the national team twice and then playing Queensland Reds in Brisbane to end the tour.
