Wales’ head coach Warren Gatland has announced his squad for the Rugby World Cup, with a number of surprise calls having been made.

Cory Hill was included despite fears that he may miss the opening two games of the tournament due to injury, while Rob Evans and Samson Lee missed out.

Rhys Carre will travel to Japan, as will brothers Jonathan Davies and James Davies, and Rhys Patchell was given the nod ahead of Jarrod Evans.

Owen Watkin’s inclusion came at the expense of Scott Williams.

In another big call, Hallam Amos will play in Japan and Owen Lane will miss out for the Grand Slam winners.

Forwards: Jake Ball, Adam Beard, Rhys Carre, James Davies, Elliot Dee, Ryan Elias, Tomas Francis, Cory Hill, Alun Wyn Jones, Wyn Jones, Dillon Lewis, Ross Moriarty, Josh Navidi, Ken Owens, Aaron Shingler, Nicky Smith, Justin Tipuric, Aaron Wainwright.

Backs: Josh Adams, Hallam Amos, Dan Biggar, Aled Davies, Gareth Davies, Jonathan Davies, Leigh Halfpenny, George North, Hadleigh Parkes, Rhys Patchell, Owen Watkin, Liam Williams, Tomos Williams.
