Wales Team Announcement and Rugby Updates

Argentina's Coach on Scheduling Challenges
Argentina head coach Felipe Contepomi described their recent schedule as challenging ahead of their match against Wales in Cardiff.
“It has been a challenge because many of our guys came through the Rugby Championship, went straight into club rugby, had a camp with us, went back to their clubs and now play this weekend,” Contepomi said ahead of Sunday’s clash at Principality Stadium.
He added:
“But we won’t use that as an excuse. We had some injuries but we are happy with the whole group that we have here.
“I would be very confident with playing any of the 32 that are training with us.”
Warren Gatland’s Return to International Rugby
