Why Christ Tshiunza is missing from the Wales squad despite not being injured

Christ Tshiunza will play no further part in this year's Six Nations after not travelling with the Wales squad to either Italy or France.

Having not been named in the squad to face Italy in Rome last Saturday, Tshiunza was released back to his club Exeter. Cardiff's Teddy Williams was also released back to the Arms Park side ahead of the trip, while uncapped centre Keiran Williams returned to the Ospreys having picked up an injury against Benetton.

WalesOnline understands Tshiunza has simply not made the cut for the matchday 23 again against France and so was not summoned to Nice, where the squad are training this week. It's believed Warren Gatland has previously been keen for him to concentrate on improving his carrying game, given his powerful physique.
