Wales call up uncapped prop O'Connor
Written by I Dig Sports
Wales have called uncapped Scarlets prop Harri O'Connor into their Six Nations squad prior to Saturday's match against Ireland in Dublin.
Warren Gatland has tight-head prop issues before the trip to face defending champions in Dublin.
He lost Leon Brown to a shoulder injury against Scotland before Archie Griffin damaged his knee while earning his first cap against England.
O'Connor, 23, appeared in the uncapped match against Barbarians in November.
He has represented Wales at under-18 and under-20s level and previously travelled to South Africa with Wayne Pivac's Wales squad in 2022, but was unused during the three-Test tour.
Cardiff prop Keiron Assiratti, who started at Twickenham, was the only fit tight-head preparing with the Wales squad last week, with Dillon Lewis returning to his English club Harlequins.
France-based club pair Tomas Francis and Henry Thomas were not selected for this Six Nations campaign after being involved in the 2023 World Cup.
