Coaches Wayne Pugh and Kenny Davies have selected a youthful line up. Eleven of the twenty two on duty have represented Wales at U19 level in the last two seasons proving the WWRU structures are beginning to bear fruit.
Captained for the first time by UWIC second row Becky Dando, Wales will be facing a team selected from all different regiments across Europe. New faces at this level include North Wales’ Manon Williams and Louise Akers and Llandaff North’s Vicky Gaylard.
The front row of Horgan, Atwood and Davies provides the experience as Wales look to gain ascendancy up front in order to release youngsters in the back line like Michaela Reed and Stacey Saunders.
The game takes place at Taffs Well RFC on Wednesday November 26th, kicking off at 7pm. Admission is £2.
