Fourteen Wales internationals on the move this summer amid cuts, 60-cap rule and new beginnings

A double-figure haul of Wales internationals will be featuring for new clubs or regions when the 2022-23 season kicks off.

Some of those are stepping down a grade of rugby to continue their careers, and others are still in their prime, holding down places in Wayne Pivac’s Wales squad and hoping to feature at the next World Cup.

We count the asterisks among those who have already signed for fresh teams and those who could well do so in the coming weeks:

The 31-year-old will be playing for Cardiff in the new season after a six-year spell with Bath. He signed off at The Rec with a gilt-edged performance against London Irish which saw him create a try and save one three minutes from time to secure his team the spoils. “It shows what a quality player he is,” enthused Bath coach Neil Hatley.

Not a shred of doubt about it: it will be good to see Faletau back in the Welsh game.

He was signed by the Dragons two days after his release from the Scarlets. Evans had been hampered by injuries out west and found himself eased out at the Scarlets amid a difficult financial climate and the rapid progress of up-and-coming props Steffan Thomas and Kemsley Mathias.

“He’s been caught in a perfect storm,” a leading player representative told WalesOnline. “There are some talented young props at the Scarlets and Rob has had injuries at a time when he’s coming out of contract and there isn’t a huge amount of money in Welsh rugby.”

But when he is injury-free and fully firing, Evans is an asset. At the Dragons, he will also have a big point to prove.

The Dragons already have one international hooker in Elliot Dee, but come the new campaign they will have another in their ranks after snapping up Roberts from Ulster.
