The likely Wales squad to tour South Africa: Ins, outs and the wildcard rumoured to be in with a chance
Wales lost to Italy in the Six Nations. Wayne Pivac's team are going to tour South Africa this summer. The team is low in confidence after the defeat to the Italians.
Josh Adams is a doubt for the tour. Owen Lane was a surprise Six Nations omission. Louis Rees-Zammit and Alex Cuthbert are both safe in terms of wing spots. Liam Williams is virtually unchallenged at full-back. Johnny McNicholl should be safe after showing some promising signs.
Johnny Williams, Nick Tompkins, Owen Watkin, Jonathan Davies and George North are the likely Wales squad to tour South Africa. Willis Halaholo is out for the rest of the season and is unlikely to play for Wales. George N was injured in the Six Nations and will not play in this summer's tour.
Dan Biggar is the undisputed first-choice fly-half. Callum Sheedy is his deputy. Gareth Anscombe and Rhys Priestland are the third-placed players. Jarrod Evans, Rhyve Patchell and Sam Costelow have made cases away from the Test scene.
Tomos Williams is Wales' first-choice scrum-half. Kieran Hardy is a solid deputy. Gareth Davies started for the defeat to Italy.
Ryan Elias and Dewi Lake are the likely hookers to be picked for the tour of South Africa. Ken Owens is injured and will miss the Six Nations.
Wales are likely to pick the same props for the tour of South Africa as they did for Six Nations. Wyn Jones, Gareth Thomas, Rhys Carre, Tomas Francis, Leon Brown and Dillon Lewis are the most likely props.
Adam Beard, Alun Wyn Jones, Will Rowlands, Dafydd Jenkins, Christ Tshiunza, Seb Davies and Daffyd Jenkins are likely to be picked for the tour of South Africa. There are rumours that Exeter's DafeddJen is being watched closely by Wales.
Josh Navidi, Taulupe Faletau, Jac Morgan, James Botham, and Taine Basham are the back-rowers for Wales. Ross Moriarty is injured and unlikely to make it. Aaron Wainwright, Shane Lewis-Hughes and Dan Lydiate could step in if he does not make the cut.
