A strong Blue & Blacks contingent have been named in the Wales U18 squad to face Spain on the final day of the 2026 U18 Men’s Six Nations Festival.
Head coach Richie Pugh has selected his side for Saturday’s clash at Stade Municipal Louis Darragon in Vichy (KO 12.15), with ten Cardiff Rugby players included in the matchday squad.
Flanker Alfie Prygodzicz returns to the starting line-up to captain Wales, while fellow Cardiff Rugby players Harry Kinsey, Owen Lewis, Harvey Bryant, Brayan Kamanga, Harri Lewis and Will Watkins are also named in the XV.
There is further Cardiff representation on the bench, where Alex Ballinger, George Thomas and Will Adams are all included for the final fixture of the campaign.
Wales head into the match looking to finish the festival on a high, having opened with victory over Scotland before suffering a narrow defeat to hosts France earlier this week.
Pugh has made changes to his squad for the final outing, with Ballinger brought into the matchday 23 alongside Ospreys’ Mason James, as Wales aim to respond positively and end their campaign with a win.
