Harlequins centre Bryn Bradley has been named in Wales’ extended 48-man squad for their summer matches. He is one of six uncapped players selected by Steve Tandy.
Bradley Joins Uncapped Contingent
Bryn Bradley is joined by Exeter back rower Kane James, Dragons back-row duo Ryan Woodman and Harrison Keddie, Cardiff loose-head prop Rhys Barratt, and Ospreys tight-head Ben Warren.
There are recalls for Dragons prop Dillon Lewis, Leicester flanker Tommy Reffell, Scarlets centre Joe Roberts and Cardiff scrum-half Ellis Bevan.
British and Irish Lions flanker Jac Morgan, Cardiff lock Teddy Williams and centre Max Llewellyn are included after missing the Six Nations because of injury.
Summer Schedule for Wales
Wales have a programme of four matches this summer. They will play a warm-up game against Barbarians at the Allianz Stadium in Twickenham on 27 June, followed by three Nations Championship matches against Fiji, Argentina and South Africa.
Wales tight-head duo Tomas Francis and Archie Griffin will miss the summer programme. Francis, who will move to Sale from Provence next season, has been rested while Bath’s Griffin will undergo surgery.
Squad Composition and Availability
There are 33 Wales-based players in the squad, with Cardiff having 12, Scarlets nine, Ospreys seven and Dragons five players.
The 15 players based outside of Wales will be unavailable for the fixture against Barbarians because the match falls outside World Rugby’s international window.
The squad will be whittled down after the Barbarians game before the inaugural Nations Championship starts.
Player Backgrounds
Kane James and Bryn Bradley have chosen to play for English clubs.
James, 21, is a former England Under-20s World Cup winner who was born in Pembrokeshire and raised in Cardiff. After playing for Wales Under-18s, James turned out for England Under-20s, achieving 19 caps and being part of a World Rugby U20 Championship win.
Bradley, 23, was born in south London and went to school in Epsom but qualifies for Wales.
Players will join up with Wales on a staggered basis depending on when their club season ends with the first group of players due into camp on Monday, 1 June.
