Tyler Morgan and Leon Brown are both recalled as part of a 37-man squad for the Under Armour Series.

Cory Hill - who captained Wales in the summer - Ross Moriarty, Elliot Dee and Aaron Wainwright are all retained after impressing on the summer tour.

“This autumn is the start of a 12-month countdown to the Rugby World Cup and it is a huge opportunity for the players,” said Wales Head Coach Warren Gatland.

“The players who performed and represented Wales so well in the summer deserve the opportunity again and we are really pleased with the depth we gave built across the squad.

“We have added in a lot of experience with eight British & Irish Lions coming into the squad so there is a lot of competition for places.

“Some experienced players have missed out, the message to them is the door isn’t closed looking long term, it’s just a reflection of where we are depth wise and the opportunity to look at other players.

“A further eight players haven’t been selected due to injury, dependent on their recovery they could be called in at a later date.”
