Tips to lead Wales

Ospreys Captain Justin Tipuric will lead his country against Georgia at Parc Y Scarlets this weekend. 

He's join by regional teammates Sam Parry and Nicky Smith who provide the cover off the bench alongside Rhys Webb who makes his return to the matchday 23.

Saturday is a huge opportunity for the players and for us as a squad looking ahead to the future and to RWC 2023,” said Wales head coach Wayne Pivac.

“As we have said all along, the Autumn Nations Cup is a great platform for us to give opportunities to players, to build depth and experience.

“It’s a great honour for the new caps and the players making their first starts, they have trained well and deserve this opportunity to represent their country.”
