Rugby – Six Nations: Wales Centre Jonathan Davies Named Captain For the First Time
In the upcoming Saturday’s Six Nations match against Italy, for the first time ever, centre Jonathan Davies is set to captain Wales.
Regular captain Alun Wyn Jones is set to be on the seat in a much-changed Wales group.
Head mentor Warren Gatland will name his line-up on Thursday, with Wasps flanker Thomas Young ready to make his Six Nations make a big appearance in Rome.

This is a bit odd. Team changes reported as news without any confirmation of the sauces. I don’t doubt that this is true, but isn’t it strange that it’s not attributed? Am I missing something here? https://t.co/NSyv8jD6U6
