They follow the Scotland match by taking on Ireland on Tuesday, April 13 at Deramore and end up against England at Shaws Bridge SC on Friday, April 16.

A squad of 11 backs and 15 forwards will be in Ireland for the three matches, coached by former Aberavon and Wales scrum half Ray Giles and the ex-Newbridge lock Rob Beale, who now coaches at Risca.

One late change in the pack has seen Ashleigh James (Bonymaen) come in as a hooker after Anthony Gills (Dunvant) was forced to withdraw. In the backs there is also one change as wing Tom Stephens (Mumbles) is unfit and his place goes to a fly half – Rhys Jones (Abergavenny), the son of the former Wales senior captain and flanker Kingsley Jones.
