Archie Griffin, a rookie tighthead prop for Wales, has been released from the squad due to a knee injury sustained during the match against England. Griffin, who made his debut off the bench, will continue rehabilitation at Bath Rugby. Wales is yet to confirm a replacement for Griffin, with players like Henry Thomas, Lloyd Fairbrother, Harri OโConnor, Sam Wainwright, and Will Davies-King being considered. In related news, Cardiff's Rhys Litterick and Rory Thornton are sidelined due to injuries, while Taulupe Faletau's return date remains uncertain.
