**There is plenty of movement among each of the Championship’s 12 competing clubs, with the clock continuing to tick towards the second round of action and the return of international competition also edging ever nearer.** And we start Wednesday’s Media Watch in Wales, where Wayne Pivac has named his 38-man squad ahead of six international matches - starting with a trip to France on October 24. The New Zealander has called up seven uncapped players, including **Scarlets** trio Josh Macleod, Kieran Hardy and Johnny Williams, and Ospreys star Sam Parry. WalesOnline have given [their verdict on the selections](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/wales-autumn-squad-rugby-full-19056878), highlighting Macleod’s 23 possession steals in the Guinness PRO14 last season as [ample justification for his inclusion](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/verdict-wales-rugby-squad-shock-19058014). One man unavailable for selection is **Ospreys** fly-half Gareth Anscombe, who has suffered a setback in his recovery from a knee injury. The 29-year-old limped off against England at Twickenham in August 2019, and is [not expected to return to action for approximately another year](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/54435985).
