Tommy Reffell is set to start at open side flanker for Wales this weekend, Saturday August 12.
The back-row will make his tenth appearance for Cymru in their Summer Nations Series second round clash with England, at Twickenham.
On selection of the Wales team, Head Coach Warren Gatland said “There’s an opportunity for another group of players who weren’t involved last week.
There’s some great competition within the squad. I was pretty pleased with the team performance and the result last week – it wasn’t perfect but there’s a chance now for this group to go out Saturday and to put down their own marker.
Like I said there’s some real competition and perhaps a bit of pressure on this group as well. Then we’ll look potentially what the make up of the team is the following week against South Africa.”
The game is scheduled to kick off at 17:30 on Saturday, August 12, with all the action available to stream on Amazon Prime. You can read the full team sheet below.
