Wales Squad for Autumn Internationals

Dwayne Peel is the only non-Wales based player in coach Warren Gatland's 29-man squad for the November Test series.

The Sale scrum-half will miss the first game against New Zealand on 7 November because of a player release row.

Craig Mitchell is the only tight-head, with no place for Scarlets prop Deacon Manu, who has been targeted by Fiji.

Sam Warburton, Jonathan Davies and Paul James keep their places but there is no room for Ian Gough or Andrew Bishop. Dan Lydiate is the only uncapped man.

Ospreys back-rower Ryan Jones is retained as captain, his upsurge in form this season seeing off the challenge of Alun Wyn Jones and Gethin Jenkins.

Wales open against New Zealand in Cardiff on 7 November, then face Samoa, Argentina and Australia at the Millennium Stadium on successive weekends.
New Zealand arrive after a poor season and Gatland will see the chance of a first win over the All Blacks since 1953.

Backs: Dan Biggar, James Hook, Shane Williams (Ospreys); Gareth Cooper, Jamie Roberts, Tom Shanklin, Tom James, Leigh Halfpenny (Blues); Martin Roberts, Stephen Jones, Jonathan Davies, Mark Jones (Scarlets); Dwayne Peel (Sale).

Forwards: Paul James, Duncan Jones, Craig Mitchell, Huw Bennett, Alun Wyn Jones, Ryan Jones (capt), Jonathan Thomas (Ospreys); Gethin Jenkins, Bradley Davies, Andy Powell, Sam Warburton, Martyn Williams (Blues); Matthew Rees, Dafydd Jones (Scarlets); Luke Charteris, Dan Lydiate (Dragons)
