Africa-Press – Eritrea. Wales props Corey Domachowski and Keiron Assiratti have agreed new deals to stay at Cardiff.
The Arms Park side are in line to lose scrum-half Tomos Williams and prop Rhys Carre to Gloucester and Saracens but have kept the front-row duo.
Domachowski and Assiratti made their international debut in the World Cup warm-up against England in August 2023.
Loose-head Domachowski was selected for the World Cup but tight-head Assiratti was left out.
Domachowski featured in four of Wales’ five games at the global tournament as Warren Gatland’s side were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Argentina.
The duo attracted interested from outside Wales but that would have meant them being unavailable for international rugby.
Those playing outside of Wales are now required to have 25 caps to represent their country after the number was dropped from 60 in February 2023. Domachowski has six caps to his name, while Assiratti has two.
Domachowski and Assiratti, both 26, have been playing together since they were 12 as they came through the Rhondda Valley schoolboy ranks together.
A year ago the pair faced uncertain futures in the financial issues creating doubts over whether Cardiff could offer them competitive contracts.
The duo established themselves as the region’s first-choice for the second half of the season and were rewarded with places in Wales’ World Cup training squad.
