Four uncapped players in Wales squad for Six Nations

Four uncapped players are named in the Wales squad for the Six Nations.

Wales coach Warren Gatland has named four uncapped players in his squad for the upcoming Six Nations.

Scarlets prop Rob Evans, Newport Gwent Dragons centre Tyler Morgan and Cardiff Blues pair Kristian Dacey and Gareth Anscombe have all been included in the 34-man party.

Scott Andrews and Gareth Davies have both been recalled following their absences from last year's Autumn Internationals.

Meanwhile, familiar faces such as Dan Biggar, Rhys Priestland, Leigh Halfpenny, George North and Alex Cuthbert are also included.

"It's great to be able to name such an experienced squad that also boasts some exciting young talent," Gatland told the Welsh Rugby Union's official website.

"The four uncapped players have all been going well for their respective regions and it will be good to see them in this environment and we hope they take the opportunity. They come into a squad packed with experience and that experience will be important to us over the next eight weeks and the year as a whole.

"We all know how tough the Six Nations is and we kick the tournament off with a huge game against England and that is something you have to be excited about and look forward to."

Wales start their Six Nations campaign against England in Cardiff on February 6.
