Welsh Rugby Union | Wales & Regions Published 10:10 am 26th Apr 2005 News

A combination of Senior internationals and Development squad members and U19 Canada tourists, the side is a balance of youth and experience. Non Evans leads from the full-back position, with Hannah Szigetvari, Michaela Reed, Rachel Poolman and Philippa Tuttiet forming the rest of a very pacey back-line.

Senior squad members Becky Davies and Stacey Saunders form the half-back pairing, with Nicola John, also fresh from the Six Nations campaign, starting at hooker. The fixture will be followed by a full senior test match on Saturday 30th April at Ebbw Vale RFC (kick-off 7pm).
