Wales Head Coach Warren Gatland has made two surprise calls for his Autumn Squad.


Gats has rewarded the "pretty outstanding" form of uncapped Leicester wing Jonah Holmes by selecting him.

Stockport-born Holmes, who scored 10 tries in 11 games for Leicester last season and qualifies for Wales through a grandparent, is one of two international rookies among a 37-man group.

Ospreys wing Luke Morgan, has also been called up for games next month against Scotland, Australia, Tonga and South Africa.

Scarlets flankers Aaron Shingler and James Davies, Bath number eight Taulupe Faletau, Cardiff Blues back-row forward Josh Navidi and Ospreys centre Scott Williams are all out through injury.
