Published on: 21/10/2025
Exeter Chiefs lock Dafydd Jenkins has been named in the Welsh squad for the 2025 Quilter Nations Series.
Jenkins, who returned from a back injury at the outset of the season, has had crucial performances in Chiefs' opening PREM games, helping his side to a fifth place position in the league.
The 22-year-old became the second youngest man to captain his country in 2024 and is included in the 39-player squad, the first that new head coach Steve Tandy has selected.
On his selection, Jenkins said: "I'm very grateful to be given another opportunity to represent my country as it's something I take a lot of pride in."
The 2025 autumn schedule for Wales includes Argentina [Nov 9], Japan [Nov 15], New Zealand [Nov 22] and South Africa [Nov 29]. All games will be available to watch on TNT Sports.
Of the 744 caps across the squad, Jenkins makes up 23 while former Chiefs Joe Hawkins [5 caps] and Danny Southworth [uncapped] are both also included in the squad.
