Summary at a Glance

Gareth Anscombe, Max Llewellyn and Jarrod Evans have been called up to the Wales Six Nations squad just days after the departure of head coach Warren Gatland.

The pair were high-profile omissions from Gatland’s initial party, with interim coach Matt Sherratt calling them up after injuries to Liam Williams and Owen Watkin.

The 33-year-old was recalled after injury by Gatland in November, and his return could allow Ben Thomas, who has started the first two games of this tournament at fly half, to move back to his preferred position of inside centre.

Interim boss Matt Sherratt will take charge of the remainder of the campaign and has moved quickly to bring in three players with which he is familiar after Gatland’s mid-tournament departure by mutual consent.

Anscombe’s fellow 10 Evans, meanwhile, could yet add to his eight caps having been the subject of complex eligibility discussions since his move to Harlequins.
