Warren Gatland has 48 hopefuls left in his Rugby World Cup training squad, with 46 of those trying to impress in the high altitude Switzerland training camp this week.
The Wales management will push the players to the limit in a bid to get them in peak physical condition by the time they land in France this September. Upon returning to Wales, Gatland is expected to cut around 10 players from his squad ahead of their second training camp in Turkey, which starts on July 23.
Given every nation will be restricted to 33 players at the World Cup, Gatland will have to carefully consider the balance of his squad especially the split between backs and forwards. It goes without saying the playing group will be very keen to impress in Fiesch in order to keep their World Cup dreams alive.
