Description
Squad announcement press conference with Wales head coach Steve Tandy after naming his 39-man group for the Nations Championship fixtures against Japan, New Zealand and Australia, followed by finals weekend.
Tandy addresses Tommy Reffell's injury absence and Taulupe Faletau's omission, before answering whether the veteran number eight could still feature at the World Cup.
He discusses uncapped trio Che Hope, Rhys Barratt and Aneurin Owen, alongside recalls for Rio Dyer and Taine Basham and competition for places.
Tandy also assesses the Welsh regions, captain Dewi Lake and players based outside Wales, while outlining what he wants from the November campaign.
