(Reuters) - Wales coach Wayne Pivac has named seven uncapped players in his 38-man squad for the finish to the 2020 Six Nations and the inaugural Autumn Nations Cup, with exciting wing Louis Rees-Zammit among those hoping to make his debut.

The Gloucester player is one of five uncapped backs, along with scrumhalf Kieran Hardy, flyhalves Callum Sheedy and Ioan Lloyd, and centre Johnny Williams as Pivac builds his pool ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.
