Wales boss Wayne Pivac has named a 35-man squad for the upcoming autumn internationals but, as with any major selection, there are a number of players who have been left disappointed.
Indeed, there are a handful of eye-opening omissions from the group which will take on New Zealand, Argentina, Georgia and Australia throughout November, headlined by prop Rhys Carre and abrasive back-rower Ross Moriarty.
By Pivac's own admission, this is his last chance to really experiment with the players at his disposal ahead of next year's Rugby World Cup, with results taking priority in the Six Nations next year. So those not involved in this campaign, particularly those who have not recently featured, are now struggling to stake a claim before next year's global gathering.
