Four new players selected for Wales squad under Warren Gatland's guidance

Josh Hathaway, a rugby player from Gloucester, has been chosen to join the Wales training squad for matches against South Africa and Australia. He can play as a full back or a wing. The head coach, Warren Gatland, picked him along with three other new players: Jacob Beetham, Ellis Bevan, and Keelan Giles. Liam Williams is back after missing the Six Nations due to playing in Japan. Cory Hill, who plays in Japan, is also in the squad. Some players like Josh Adams, Ryan Elias, and Will Rowlands are resting. Ioan Lloyd and Alex Mann are not in the selection. The squad will be reduced to 34 players after the South Africa match. The game against South Africa is outside the international fixture window, so some England-based players won't be available. Gatland said they are preparing for the 2027 World Cup and want to improve their performance by playing better for longer periods. They aim to enhance their collision dominance and create more competition within the squad. They will choose a captain for the South Africa game and another for the tour.
