Wales U20 extended training squad

Wales U20 men’s head coach Richard Whiffin has selected a 45-strong extended training squad ahead of next Friday’s game against Cardiff RFC at Cardiff Arms Park (Fri 16 Jan, KO 7.30pm).

Whiffin says it will be a last chance for players to put their hands up for selection in the Six Nations squad which will be confirmed the following week.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to get time in with the boys in preparation before we begin the Six Nations,” he said.

“It’s an opportunity for us to connect with the players – it’s an opportunity for those guys to put their hands up before we whittle the squad down to 36/37 for the Six Nations.

“We’re incredibly grateful Cardiff have taken the fixture with us – it’s a good time, two or three weeks out from the first game against England at Northampton to fine tune the things we’ve been doing in training.

“It’s a very good senior outfit in the RFC team and should be a real solid test for the boys leading into the Six Nations.”

  2. The Rugby World Cup 1995 was held in South Africa: South Africans take a lot of pride in their rugby team, popularly called ‘The Springsbook.’ As the FIFA World Cup, South Africa was the first African country to host the Rugby World Cup tournament in 1995. The event became more successful as South Africa won the finale against New Zealand. The team was unbelievable enough to win the IRB Rugby World Cup two more times in 2007 and again in 2019.
