Welsh hopefuls get one last chance to win the Tandy Invitational in the fall

Bowen is one of URC’s best players and a team-mate at Cardiff Callum Sheedy He collects assists with five so far.

The 29-year-old fly-half placed his teenage winger over a peachy two-handed pass in Munster, but also made three attempts with his right boot.

The 16-cap capped playmaker is betting on this, but his 55% goal success rate is not good enough, while Ospreys’ Dan Edwards arguably deserves the right support next November.

Cardiff Jacob Beetham He is another player who could be in the mix having played at fullback, midfield and winger so far this season.

He has featured for South Africa in 2024 and the 6ft 1in 24-year-old will be keen to move to the next level as an international under his former club boss Matt Sherratt, the new Welsh attacking coach.

Kieran Williams“His only international cap came when he earned a cameo against England in a World Cup friendly at Twickenham in 2023, but he continues to impress for Ospreys.

Relatively small but difficult to put down, the center has made 48 passes so far this season, beaten 11 defenders, traveled 113 meters to score two tries and provided an assist.

Is he another player who will just be a player at the club? Williams’ hopes may have been damaged by the presence of Ben Thomas and Johnny Williams.

Nick Tompkins He had an impressive start to the season for Saracens, scoring three tries from three appearances at outside position.

The 30-year-old’s last start at international level was Gatland’s final and he did not tour Japan after selecting Thomas, Johnny Williams, Joe Roberts and Max Page.

However, the team’s 41-game experience and defensive solidity could prove beneficial to the new regime.

If Tandy wants to create a strong team, cover Dragons three times in the back row Shane Lewis Hughes Worth considering.

The 28-year-old, who had the ring finger on his right hand amputated last season because a previous injury led to recurring pain, may not produce eye-catching statistics, but he offers honest taste and has benefited from working closely with Wales legend and Dragons coach Dan Lydiate.
