Wales have named a 39-man Six Nations squad that is largely unchanged from the November internationals.

The experienced squad, led by captain Alun Wyn Jones, kicks off the 2019 tournament in Paris against France on 1 February.

The only big changes in the squad come in the call-ups for Cardiff Blues loose forwards Josh Navidi and Josh Turnbull, as well as Wasps flank Thomas Young.

The backline also has a feel of continuity about it, with the same three scrumhalves and flyhalves that played in November once again earning selection, including Gareth Davies and Dan Biggar.
