Wales have named five uncapped players in their squad for the autumn internationals - including under-20s skipper Joe Hawkins - as captain Dan Biggar misses out through injury.
Fly-half Biggar, who has led Wales throughout the 2022 Six Nations and the summer tour to South Africa, misses the campaign after injuring his knee playing for Northampton two weeks ago. No captain has been earmarked in his place, with Wales boss Wayne Pivac suggesting there may be more than one throughout November.
In his place, Gareth Anscombe, who is expected to return from a rib injury and play for the Ospreys this week, will be the premier fly-half in the squad and there is a first official call-up for 21-year-old Sam Costelow, who impressed the Wales management when he trained against the squad before the South Africa trip last summer. Rhys Priestland is the other No.10 in the squad.
