Josh Macleod is set to make his rugby debut for Wales against Georgia

Georgia vs. Wales Rugby, Wales has chosen a strong starting team, with one or two new players, for their match against Georgia on Saturday. Wayne Pivac made six changes to the Wales team that defeated Argentina in order to get his team ready for Georgia, which was scheduled to play two days earlier.

Josh Macleod will make his Wales debut having missed out on the chance the previous season due to injury. On day 23, Josh Adams and Leigh Halfpenny will both return from injuries to participate in the game. Additionally, the substitute debuts of Exeter lock Dafydd Jenkins and Scarlets scrum-half Dane Blacker are possible.

Adams replaces Rio Dyer to start on the flank with Alex Cuthbert as Louis Rees-Zammit continues to play fullback in the back three. Cardiff teammates Tomos Williams and Rhys Priestland are paired at halfback, and Pivac decided to start the same front row as last week, consisting of Gareth Thomas, Ken Owens, and Dillon Lewis.

On day 23, Owen Watkin replaces Nick Tompkins as the inside center and takes up Nick Tompkins’ position in the game. Given that he would return to his club team the following week, it appears Pivac paired Watkin with George North to give them some time together prior to the last autumn encounter against Australia.

Alun Wyn Jones is once again absent

Ben Carter steps in for Will Rowlands in the starting XV to link up with Adam Beard, thus Alun Wyn Jones is once again missing from the matchday roster. After his impressive performance last weekend off the bench, Jac Morgan is given the nod at blindside in the back row, while skipper Justin Tipuric holds his spot at open side and Scarlets back-row Macleod settles in at No. 8.

Bradley Roberts’ replacement as the hooker on the bench will be Ryan Elias, while the prop substitutes will still be Rhodri Jones and Sam Wainwright.

Jenkins was added to the Wales roster on Monday after injuries to Rowlands and Dan Lydiate. After two excellent performances, Taulupe Faletau is moved to the bench to fill out the forward cover.

Sam Costlow, who was last-minute added to the bench against New Zealand after Halfpenny withdrew from the fall opener, is in line for a second cap. The uncapped Blacker fills in as the scrum-half cover on the bench.

The Scarlets full-back, who is anticipated to be picked again, will wait on the sidelines before taking the field for his first Test game since July 2021. According to Pivac, Josh Macleod is a player who has historically had a lot of terrible luck. This is undoubtedly his third time lucky because he is a person we have wanted to use on several occasions.

Jac Morgan should make up a significant portion of our game this coming weekend

He safeguards the back row. We know a lot about him as I was his coach at the Scarlets. He is very enthusiastic, good with the ball, and should contribute significantly to our game this weekend together with Jac Morgan. We can’t wait to see him perform at this level and see what kind of physicality he brings.

The skeleton of the team is there. The current moment is very much in focus because we have a game versus Georgia that we must win. The Australia game is also in mind, though.

We have been keeping a watch on Dafydd Jenkins, a young person, for a time. For the U20s and Exeter Chiefs, he has displayed excellent performance. He conveyed his happiness with what Daf is doing to Rob Baxter during their conversation. Rugby fans can buy Wales Vs Georgia Tickets from our website.

Last week, Daf was the team’s leader, and we respect him for it. He’s only been in camp for a short while, but he’s already gotten the hang of everything pretty well. We are relieved to see him go. He is a unique player in Wales, and we think that this is the ideal time to watch him.

He is without a doubt a player for the future. Georgia will play similarly to Argentina in terms of aggressive play because of their really strong front line. They have a reputation for being highly muscular, strong in the set piece, and strong driving lineout.

Argentina uses the ball much more skillfully

We must improve our performance against Argentina and make much more intelligent use of the ball. Another challenge has been given to the lads, and I think we’ll be looking for a response this weekend. Discipline from the start will be essential for us because, in the last two games, we gave the opposition early points.

Wales: Louis Rees-Zammit; Alex Cuthbert, George North, Owen Watkin, Josh Adams; Rhys Priestland, Tomos Williams; Gareth Thomas, Ken Owens, Dillon Lewis, Ben Carter, Adam Beard, Jac Morgan, Justin Tipuric, Josh Macleod.

Replacements: Bradley Roberts, Rhodri Jones, Sam Wainwright, Dafydd Jenkins, Taulupe Faletau, Dane Blacker, Sam Costlow, Leigh Halfpenny.

Wales summons up two inexperienced players since Will Rowlands and Dan Lydiate are out until the fall.

Dafydd Jenkins and Rhys Davies, two second-row rookies, have been called up by Wales for the remaining matches of the Autumn Nations Series. For the games against Georgia and Australia, Wayne Pivac has decided to start Exeter’s Jenkins and Ospreys’ Davies in the second row.

They replace the Dragons lock Will Rowlands and the Ospreys back-rower Lydiate, both of whom were hurt during Saturday’s 20-13 victory against Argentina. Lydiate broke her arm, while Rowlands had a shoulder injury.

Wales has been monitoring both players for a while. Jenkins was recently mentioned as a potential starter for the World Cup in France that will be played the following year. Jenkins was anticipated to travel to South Africa in the summer.

As his club coach Toby Booth stated last month, Pivac and his coaching ticket were keeping a close eye on Davies. When Rowlands departed from the game late on Saturday, backup hooker Ryan Elias moved to the side and No. 8 Taulupe Faletau moved to the second row.

“Rhys is a very good player who is always improving, “Booth added. “He works extremely hard and plays tough. He has visited a few Welsh camps so that they can assess him. About how to bring him there, we’re all on the same page. He has been invited to such camps, which indicates that they share our opinion of him as a player with promise. That’s exciting, then.

Lydiate had to leave the match against Argentina after only 28 minutes

After just 28 minutes, Lydiate was forced to exit the match against Argentina. After that, Lydiate received appreciation from Pivac for stepping up to the plate in the wake of the death of his father, John. Despite suffering from personal loss, the Ospreys flanker wanted to participate in the team’s black armband memorial game.

Sam Costlow, who was last-minute added to the bench against New Zealand when Halfpenny withdrew from the fall opener, is in position for a second cap. The uncapped Blacker steps in as the scrum-half cover on the bench.

It is anticipated that the Scarlets full-back will be chosen once more. will wait to play in his first Test game since July 2021 by waiting on the bench. According to Pivac, Josh Macleod is a player who has historically had a lot of bad luck. This is undoubtedly his third time lucky because he is a person we have wanted to use on several occasions.
