Wales head coach Wayne Pivac has outlined his plans leading up to the Rugby World Cup to an extended group of players.
The get-together, thought to have involved a group of ‘50 to 60’, is believed to have seen the coach flag up important dates and details on the road to 2023. Three summer warm-up matches against England and South Africa are already scheduled, while a pre-tournament training camp in Switzerland and Turkey is also planned for next summer.
Pivac will likely draw his World Cup squad from those given the briefing, albeit the New Zealander will be flexible enough to take into account form and injuries as the campaign unfolds, with bolters a feature of pretty much every global-tournament squad.
