Wales head coach Steve Tandy has adjusted his lineup for the upcoming Nations Championship match against Argentina, moving winger Louis Rees-Zammit to the substitutes’ bench. Sam Costelow will take over the starting fly-half duties, while Ellis Mee is set to start on the wing. Following the recent 39-24 victory over Fiji, Dan Edwards has been excluded from the 23-man squad, with Joe Hawkins stepping in to provide cover at fly-half.
In the forward pack, James Botham replaces Alex Mann at flanker. Exeter’s Kane James is poised to earn his first international cap as a replacement, bringing power and pace to the team. Meanwhile, hooker Ryan Elias is on track to secure his 50th cap should he enter the match from the bench to support captain Dewi Lake. Tandy expressed confidence in the new selections, highlighting the squad’s energy and growth after securing back-to-back victories.
Wales faces a stern challenge against an Argentina side eager to rebound from a recent loss to Scotland. Despite being handed a heavy defeat by the Pumas in 2025, Tandy remains focused on building momentum. The match will be held at the Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario, with coverage provided across various BBC platforms and S4C.
