Wales head coach Warren Gatland has named his squad for the 2025 Six Nations, and ahead of the start of the tournament, we run through his side, their fixtures and match officials.
The experienced boss has selected Jac Morgan as his skipper for the Championship this year, taking over from the injured Dewi Lake, but has made some very bold selection calls as they seek to improve on last year’s bottom-placed finish.
Despite their glowing form, the likes of Max Llewellyn, Gareth Anscombe and Cameron Winnett have been omitted from the squad, and looking within the selected group, Gatland has only opted to pick one out-and-out 10 in the form of talented youngster Dan Edwards.
In the UK, both of Wales’ home matches will be aired on the BBC, as will their trip to Rome to play Italy, but their clashes with England and France will be shown on ITV.
They will also all be aired in Welsh on S4C.
Meanwhile, in Ireland, the Six Nations coverage will be shared between RTÉ and Virgin Media.
