Wales flanker James Botham has been released from the Six Nations squad due to a knee injury with Dillon Lewis and Seb Davies called up as injury cover. Botham’s try against Scotland sparked a comeback attempt but his injury requires further rehabilitation.

Cardiff’s Davies versatile in second-row and back-row positions joins the squad while Harlequins prop Lewis replaces the injured Leon Brown. Despite Lewis’ omission from the initial squad his coach Adam Jones remains hopeful for his return. 

Brown’s injury could impact his Test career as he is one cap shy of the required number to play while employed outside Wales with a potential move from the Dragons looming.
