Scott Baldwin urges Gareth Davies to reconsider retirement for World Cup

Former Wales player Scott Baldwin has called on Gareth Davies to reconsider his international retirement ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup. Baldwin believes the 36-year-old scrum-half's experience could be invaluable for Wales, especially in critical matches. Davies, who retired from Test rugby in 2024, demonstrated his abilities in a recent comeback win for Scarlets against Benetton. Baldwin highlighted that Wales may lack depth in key positions and suggested that Welsh coach Steve Tandy should engage Davies about a potential return. The World Cup is set to take place in Australia next year, with Wales drawn in a competitive Pool F.
