Tom James Named in Wales Preliminary World Cup Squad
14 June 2007, 12:00 am
Wales coach Gareth Jenkins today named his 41-man preliminary Rugby World Cup 2007 summer training squad.
The current group will next train together as one unit at the end of June - when the Australian tourists return from a three week break - and will embark on a week-long training camp in Nantes from 21st July.
They then form the Wales side travelling to Twickenham to take on England on 4th August before Jenkins trims his troops to 30 in advance of clashes with Argentina and France in the Invesco Perpetual Summer Series at the Millennium Stadium on 18th and 26th August.
"I've no doubt that trimming this group of players down to a 30-man Rugby World Cup squad will be the hardest selection decision I've ever had to make as a coach - but it's a challenge I relish."
Jenkins has named two uncapped players in the squad - 30-year-old Gloucester specialist second row Will James and Cardiff Blues wing Thomas James, who impressed on the training pitch as a tourist in Australia.
Lock James, who has also played Heineken Cup rugby for Pontypridd, has been under Jenkins' watchful eye whilst plying his trade in the English Premiership.
"There are players in this squad who have forced themselves into contention after stepping up to the task presented to them in Australia and there are a couple of people who still need the opportunity to show us what they have to offer. added Jenkins.
"We will be fine-tuning our selection over the coming weeks and are confident we have the breadth of talent and ability within this squad to come out with a team to be competitive against any World Cup opponent.
"We are developing a group of leaders within the squad and will look at the captaincy in closer detail when the final 30 is announced.
"We are going to need more than one leader on the pitch over the course of the tournament, as well as during the coming summer series and we are fortunate to have a number of suitable candidates for the job."
