Welsh Rugby Union - Wales senior men’s squad update

Uncapped Leicester Tigers back row Olly Cracknell has been called up to the Wales senior men’s squad for the Quilter Nations Series.

Cardiff back row Taulupe Faletau has been released from the squad due to the knee injury sustained against Edinburgh on Saturday.

Head coach Steve Tandy said: “It’s obviously hugely disappointing to lose Toby to injury as he’s a world-class player. But Olly’s been playing really well for Leicester and we’re excited to add him to the squad.”
