Colin Charvis, Michael Owen, Ceri Sweeney, Jamie Corsi (all Dragons) and Andy Williams (Bath) stayed home for domestic rugby action when Jenkins's tourists left Wales last week and are currently travelling to Sydney – save Williams who arrives a day later.

"We've acclimatised and have been training well, but we want to get another couple of days in with our full contingent before announcement time," said Jenkins.

"It's the sensible thing for us to do, we have moved the training schedule around and put in some extra sessions to ensure we make maximum use of the short time available to us."
