Wales squad to face Australia, South Africa, Fiji and New Zealand
18 October 2010 13:18pm
By Ospreys Rugby
Wales head coach Warren Gatland has named 15 Ospreys in his 33-man squad to contest the 2010 Invesco Perpetual Autumn Series next month.
In the forwards, he has named Paul James, Adam Jones, Huw Bennett, Richard Hibbard, Alun Wyn Jones, Ian Gough, Jonathan Thomas and Ryan Jones, while the backs selected for the series are Mike Phillips, Dan Biggar, James Hook, Andrew Bishop, Shane Williams, Tom Prydie and Lee Byrne.
Blues prop Scott Andrews and Scarlets wing George North are the only two uncapped players in the squad.
Gatland, who this weekend signed a contract extension with the WRU which will keep him at the helm of the national side until 2015, will name his Series captain on the day he names the side to face the Wallabies keeping his entire squad on their toes during the two-week training camp which starts this Sunday.
"We will assess form and pick our team and then name the captain, it has to be in that order, but there is little to suggest to us that it will not be Ryan again, he needs a little more game time, but we are more than happy with what he offers in a leadership capacity," said Gatland.
"It has been good to see some of our senior players who we missed out on the summer tour back and fully fit for their Regions who have acquitted themselves reasonably well in Europe.
"And to be able to select a fully fit Shane Williams, James Hook or Gethin Jenkins is a big lift for us.
"Scott Andrews has been doing well technically, physically he is in good shape, we have had our eye on him at the Blues and he has been in and around the squad for a while.
"George North is only young but really set the start of the season on fire with his form. He is a big physical player, last time I saw a pair of thighs like that was on some of the Samoans back in New Zealand.
"He's carrying an injury at the moment but hopefully he'll be back in the next few weeks and will benefit from the experience of being around the national squad."
Wales face the Wallabies in just over a fortnight and Gatland hopes the nation will get behind his squad as the countdown to RWC 2011 begins in earnest at the Millennium Stadium.
"Australia have been devastating at times so far this season, in 2011 (at the RWC) I think they are going to be firing," added Gatland.
"This is a really big game for us, we were disappointed last year that we didn't do as well as we can against them but we have a few big players back this year.
"From our squad the only really absentee is Jamie Roberts who is not available to us but apart from him we have been able to select from a position of strength.
"So we are really looking forward to and are excited about Australia. They will be well prepared after a good Tri Nations and facing the All Blacks in Hong Kong before they arrive, but we have a good couple of weeks to work hard and get up and ready.
"I hope the Welsh public come out and support us and really get behind us now, the Millennium Stadium at capacity makes a huge difference to the players and if we can fill the stadium it will be a real boost for us."
