Get ready for a major boost to Wales' bid for rugby supremacy as they call up their ace tight-head prop Dillon Lewis after a two-year exile! The 30-year-old powerhouse earned his spot in the international squad for the summer showdowns against Fiji, Argentina, and South Africa in the Nations Championship – and it couldn't have come at a better time. Lewis has been out of the frame since winning his 57th cap against Italy in the 2024 Six Nations, but with Tomas Francis bound for Sale and Archie Griffin nursing an injury, coach Warren Gatland's men needed someone to plug the gap.
Wales' tight-head prop conundrum has been a major headache all season, with neither of their regulars featuring in the summer schedule. That's why the recall of Lewis, who's been working with new scrum guru Paul James, is music to Welsh fans' ears. Joining him on the international stage are Sam Wainwright and Ben Warren – but with just eight professional starts between them in 2025-26, you can bet they'll be working their socks off to prove themselves against some of the world's toughest opposition.
Lewis himself is ecstatic at his recall, saying he's loved being back with the new coaching staff who've brought a fresh perspective and culture to the team. It's a big call for him to step straight into the fray, but Wales fans will be hoping it pays off – after all, they need someone of Lewis' calibre to sort out their tight-head prop problem once and for all!
