Rugby LIVE: Wales make announcement as two players removed from France squad

It's Test week and the autumn internationals get kick-started this weekend with a mouth-watering lineup of action. England and Australia get the ball rolling on Saturday afternoon with a date in London, with Ireland and New Zealand closing out the day's rugby with a huge clash at Soldier Field in Chicago.

For Wales, it's a brand new era under Steve Tandy - the former Scotland defence guru who's making his first moves as an international head coach. The Tonmawr native named his 39-player squadlast Tuesday and notably included Saracens prop Rhys Carre. The former Cardiff Rugby loosehead was allowed to be selected despite having less than the 25 caps required.

Wales are not in action this week, with their first match against Argentina on Sunday, November 9. The squad are meeting up first the first time today and WalesOnline will keep you up to date with all the news from camp, as well as other stories breaking across the rugby world.
