Wales have announced a history-making squad for their upcoming test against Japan, with nine players selected who ply their trade outside the Welsh domestic system.
Among those based abroad are co-captains Jac Morgan and Dewi Lake, highlighting a significant shift in selection policy. The match, scheduled for later this month, will see Wales field a team with the highest number of overseas-based players in recent memory.
The Independent reported on Thursday that the selection marks a departure from previous conventions, reflecting the growing number of Welsh players moving to clubs in England, France, and beyond.
