🏉 Exciting times for Wales Rugby as they face Fiji in their final World Cup showdown this Saturday at Sandy Park, Exeter! With a 2.45pm kick-off, make sure to tune in on BBC Two or BBC iPlayer to catch all the action.
Leading the charge, we’re thrilled to see the return of co-captains Alex Callender and Kate Williams, ready to steer the team back on track after last weekend’s tough match against Canada. There are four key changes to the squad, ensuring a fresh and dynamic lineup.
Harlequins star Carys Phillips rejoins the front row, packing down with Maisie Davies and powerhouse Sisilia Tuipulotu. Georgia Evans makes a switch from back row to team up with Gwenn Crabb in the second row – a move sure to strengthen our pack!
In the backs, Keira Bevan starts at scrum-half alongside Lleucu George. Kayleigh Powell’s debut at full-back adds an exciting new dimension, while Lisa Neumann and Nel Metcalfe are set to dazzle on the wings.
Head coach Sean Lynn shares, “We’re determined to finish on a high. Having our co-captains back is a fantastic boost. We respect the challenge Fiji poses but are ready to show our mettle and make Wales proud.”
