🏉 Exciting times for Wales Women as they kick off their Rugby World Cup journey against Scotland this Saturday at Salford Community Stadium in Manchester! With co-captain Alex Callender back on her feet after an ankle injury, the team is ready to tackle their first pool B match at 2:45 pm.
A huge moment for Lisa Neumann as she earns her 50th cap! She’ll be part of a dynamic back three alongside the speedy Jasmine Joyce-Butchers and versatile full-back Nel Metcalfe. In the midfield, it’s Hannah Dallavalle and Courtney Keight, while Lleucu George and scrum-half Keira Bevan will steer the game from half-back.
Leading the team into the fray are backrowers Callender and Kate Williams, both co-captains bringing their A-game to set the winning tone. Coach Sean Lynn has made sure this squad selection is top-notch, crucial for a match that promises to be a thrilling contest!
Lynn reflects, “Having Alex fit and eager is fantastic for us. The combined leadership of Al Cal and Kate Williams is vital against a team we love competing with. The opener’s importance is immense, and we aim to deliver a standout performance.”
The atmosphere’s already electric, with the team putting in intense training sessions in Manchester. This is the biggest Women’s Rugby World Cup, and every player and staff member knows the honour and pride of representing Wales.
Get ready for some powerful rugby action, and let’s show our support for the women in red as they bring their passion and prowess to the field!
