Wales call-up uncapped replacement for injured Archie Griffin
By PA
Wales head coach Warren Gatland has called prop Harri O’Connor into his Guinness Six Nations squad.
The Scarlets forward joins up with Gatland’s group ahead of the Dublin clash against runaway title favourites Ireland next Saturday.
O’Connor, 23, went on as a replacement during a non-cap game between Wales and the Barbarians earlier this season, but he has yet to feature at Test level.
Bath prop Archie Griffin recently withdrew from the squad following a knee injury that he suffered on his Wales debut against England at Twickenham.
O’Connor becomes the second prop to join the squad after experienced Harlequins tighthead Dillon Lewis earlier this month.

Thanks Nick. Surely they will thump Japan this week and the pressure will be off. Do you want to make a prediction that the defence coach will go before the Six Nations? England seem to want Borthwick there for a long time so surely they will back Bortho and look for a new defence coach?
Go to commentsYes, Carlos, I sensed before hand this would be a very close game, even could see an Arg. win....well, they have beaten all their three SH compatriots this year, then added Italy. And as nick says below, they were winners of the breakdown for a lot of the game, and both sides of the ball too.
Felipe very highly regarded in Ireland, esp. Leinster.
Good luck this weekend !
