Wales forced to reconsider three axed and forgotten players amid strong evidence

Ben James of Wales Online argues that Wales head coach Steve Tandy may have to reconsider sidelined players following strong early-season performances. With squad selection nearing for the Nations Championship in November, Cardiff number eight Taine Basham and Dragons winger Rio Dyer are highlighted for their recent domestic form. Ospreys center Keiran Williams is also discussed as a player demonstrating strong credentials despite falling out of international contention.

Basham has excelled after transitioning to number eight for Cardiff, while Dyer led the United Rugby Championship by beating ten defenders against Scarlets. The piece notes that young talents Macs Page and Tom Bowen have also impressed, although competition remains steep across the Welsh back-row, back-three, and midfield positions.
