Wales Six Nations Squad Latest As Gatland Calls Up Ospreys Prop Ben Warren 161o1m

Here is the latest confirmed Wales squad for the 2025 Guinness Six Nations tournament ahead of their opening fixture against on Friday night.

Wales coach Warren Gatland named his initial 34-man Six Nation squad on 13 January.

Two uncapped players were called up, with Ospreys fly-half Dan Edwards and Scarlets winger Ellis Mee the two new faces.

But after an injury to Sale Sharks tighthead WillGriff John, Ospreys prop Ben Warren has been drafted in to replace him.

Warren, 24, played 15 times for Wales U20s, scoring one try. At 6’1 and 122kg, he will bring bulk and power to the Welsh front row.

But with Wales severely lacking experience up front, Warren will need to adapt quickly to the test arena if he earns his first cap.

As their rebuild continues, nineteen of Wales’ squad have ten caps or fewer.

However, having lost their last 12 straight test matches – their worst-ever run of games – Gatland has recalled some experienced players to steady the ship.

Below is the full Wales squad ahead of the opening round of the Six Nations.
