Wyatt's Wales call

Llanelli lock Chris Wyatt has been called into the Wales squad to travel to Australia and New Zealand next month.

The 29-year-old replaces Pontypridd’s Michael Owen, who has been forced to pull out with knee ligament damage.

Wyatt, capped 33 times, won his first honour as a replacement against Zimbabwe on the summer tour to southern Africa in 1998 and last played for Wales as a replacement against Scotland in April last year.

“We wanted to have another middle-of-the-line jumper and that’s why we went for Chris. This is a real opportunity for him,” said Wales coach Steve Hansen.
