Neil Jenkins is excited by the level of talent in Wales' squad ahead of the Autumn Series internationals against Argentina, Samoa, New Zealand and Australia.

Options

McCusker and Knoyle are back in the fold, but Jenkins believes they would always be in the frame if fit adding: "They've both been in and out the squad over a period of time. "Tav has generally been a regular barring injury. Rob likewise has been there or thereabouts. Both of them are talented players and both are playing very well for Scarlets. Both will push for places in this Autumn Series." Flanker Dan Lydiate is missing due to injury, but Jenkins thinks he has options at six and seven: "We're lucky to have a few players in that position. Aaron Shingler's a very good player and Ryan Jones. "Ryan's playing outstanding rugby at this moment in time and seems to be enjoying his rugby as well. I think we're lucky in the talent and the depth that we've got."
