SIX Dragons have been included in the Wales squad for the autumn internationals - but there is no place for in-form Ollie Griffiths.

Lock Cory Hill, hooker Elliot Dee, tighthead Leon Brown, number eight Ross Moriarty, flanker Aaron Wainwright and centre Tyler Morgan are included for the Tests against Scotland, Australia, Tonga and South Africa.

However, there is no place for Griffiths, despite a stunning start to the season.

Wing/full-back Hallam Amos also misses out after suffering a dislocated elbow last month, although he is nearing a return.

Ospreys wing and Wales Sevens' all-time leading points and try scorer Luke Morgan and Leicester Tigers' Jonah Holmes both receive first call-ups, the latter courtesy of a Welsh grandparent.

"This autumn is the start of a 12-month countdown to the Rugby World Cup and it is a huge opportunity for the players," said head coach Warren Gatland.

"The players who performed and represented Wales so well in the summer deserve the opportunity again and we are really pleased with the depth we have built across the squad.

"We have added in a lot of experience with eight British & Irish Lions coming into the squad so there is a lot of competition for places.

"Some experienced players have missed out, the message to them is the door isn't closed looking long term, its just a reflection of where we are depth wise and the opportunity to look at other players.

"A further eight players haven't been selected due to injury, dependent on their recovery they could be called in at a later date.

"The two uncapped players in Luke and Jonah are both form, back-three players and we are looking forward to seeing them in this environment and seeing what they can do."
