## Summary

Wales winger Josh Adams has been released from the national squad to start for Cardiff against Ospreys at St Helen’s on Saturday in the United Rugby Championship. He is the only player from a Welsh region sent out for match time ahead of the Nations Championship, while Cardiff and Ospreys are missing several other Wales squad members.

Adams, 31, has returned from a hamstring injury, coming off the bench at Northampton before starting Cardiff’s defeat by Sharks last weekend. Cardiff captain Liam McNally is the only forward retained in the starting pack from that match; he leads the side in Liam Belcher’s absence. Alun Lawrence returns from injury for his first appearance of the season, and Cardiff loanee Harri Wilde is named among Ospreys’ replacements.
