Warren Gatland admits he has been blown away by the skills of uncapped tight-head Keiron Assiratti in training, joking that the Cardiff prop would make a brilliant fly-half.
Assiratti has enjoyed a strong season at the Arms Park, forming a strong front-row unit with hooker Liam Belcher and fellow Wales squad member Corey Domachowski, and he is well-placed to challenge for a World Cup squad ticket to France.
The five tight-head options consist of two experienced players and three uncapped players. The former, Tomas Francis and Dillon Lewis, would be expected to make it to France, but you never know with Gatland in a World Cup year. Samson Lee missed out four years ago, after all.
