Four Cardiff Blues players have been named in Wales' squad for the Under Armour Series this November.
Dillon Lewis, Ellis Jenkins, Tomos Williams and Gareth Anscombe all retain their places after impressing both during the summer tour and in the opening weeks of the season for Cardiff Blues.
Josh Navidi and Owen Lane were both also set to be included but have been ruled out due to the injuries sustained in Sunday’s Heineken Champions Cup victory over Lyon.
Navidi suffered a MCL knee injury and Lane pulled up with a hamstring injury. Both players will continue to be assessed at Cardiff Blues.
Seb Davies, who is recovering from a knee injury of his own, was also not considered for selection although such players could be called up later in the series.
Ospreys wing and Wales Sevens' all-time leading points and try scorer Luke Morgan and Leicester Tigers’ Jonah Holmes both receive a first call up to the Wales squad.
“This autumn is the start of a 12-month countdown to the Rugby World Cup and it is a huge opportunity for the players," said Wales Head Coach Warren Gatland.
“The players who performed and represented Wales so well in the summer deserve the opportunity again and we are really pleased with the depth we have built across the squad.
“We have added in a lot of experience with eight British & Irish Lions coming into the squad so there is a lot of competition for places.
“Some experienced players have missed out, the message to them is the door isn't closed looking long term, it’s just a reflection of where we are depth wise and the opportunity to look at other players.
“A further eight players haven’t been selected due to injury, dependent on their recovery they could be called in at a later date.
“The two uncapped players in Luke and Jonah are both form, back-three players and we are looking forward to seeing them in this environment and seeing what they can do."
