Wales' team of dropped players hoping Wayne Pivac will change his mind for the Six Nations

Wales have a number of players who were dropped for the autumn internationals. They are hoping to be selected for Wayne Pivac's team for Six Nations.

Wales are hoping Wayne Pivac will change his mind for the Six Nations. Ioan Lloyd hasn't played for Wales since 2020.

He is a talent, a player who can make spectators rise from their seats with his skill and audacity.

Jonah Holmes was left out of Wales' squad for the Tests with New Zealand, South Africa, Fiji and Australia. He scored 10 tries in 10 games for Dragons last season.

Tyler Morgan is a centre who has been injured a lot recently. Darren Edwards once called him an outstanding talent. Morgan has a turn of pace and good footwork.

Owen Watkin hasn't played for Wales since last year's Six Nations. He has been playing at the Ospreys and has an encouraging partnership with Michael Collins. Warren Gatland used to admire him.

Steff Evans hasn't played a Test since the World Cup warm-up against Ireland in 2019. Wayne Pivac has identified two sides to Evans' game: sharp attacking play and need to be tougher with the ball.

Sam Davies was named World Rugby's junior player of the year in 2008. He was touted as a potential Lion by Stuart Barnes and played for Wales. A groin injury has knocked him off course and he hasn't started a Test since 2017.

He started the season well but the Dragons' struggles haven't made it easy for him. He is hoping Wayne Pivac will change his mind for the Six Nations.

Rhys Webb has been dropped by Wayne Pivac for the Six Nations. He played well for Ospreys against the Scarlets last weekend.

Nicky Smith was not included in Wales' squad for the autumn internationals. Wayne Pivac's team had a tough campaign scrummaging-wise. Smith helped destroy the Irish team's scrum against Munster. He will be there or thereabouts for a recall for Six Nations.

Sam Parry has five caps under Wayne Pivac but four of them came off the bench. He's had to battle with Elvis Taione for first-choice place at the Ospreys.

Wales are hoping Wayne Pivac will change his mind for the Six Nations. Samson Lee hasn't played since his last cap against England in Llanelli.

Matthew Screech was dropped for the autumn internationals. He is hoping Wayne Pivac will pick him for Six Nations.

Rory Thornton was once seen as having the potential to take over from Alun Wyn Jones with the Ospreys and Wales. Now at Cardiff, he remains a respected lineout forward and has shown at times he can excel in his general play.

Aaron Shingler is hoping to be picked for the Six Nations by Wayne Pivac. He came off the bench against the Ospreys last weekend.

Ollie Griffiths is one of Wales' unluckiest players. He has been playing regularly for the Dragons this term. Martyn Williams once said that Griffith's game was outstanding for Wales U20 team. Griffith won his first cap against Tonga in 2017.

Josh Turnbull was dropped by Wales for the autumn internationals. He played well for Cardiff last season. Wales are hoping Wayne Pivac will pick him for Six Nations.
