Posted 1 months ago

Keira Bevan will make her debut as Wales' captain in their WXV2 warm-up match against Scotland at the Hive in Edinburgh on Friday at 19:35 BST.

Scrum-half Keira Bevan, 27, will lead a young Wales squad in their WXV2 warm-up game against Scotland.

Prop Maisie Davies, hooker Rosie Carr, and lock Alaw Pyrs are set to earn their first senior caps from the bench.

Pyrs, whose sister Gwenllian starts in the front row, will become one of the first pairs of sisters to play for Wales since Claire and Louise Horgan in 2008.

Number eight Gwennan Hopkins will make her first start for Wales, and flanker Alisha Butchers is set to earn her 50th cap as a replacement.

Wales head coach Ioan Cunningham commented, “Keira Bevan brings valuable experience to the captaincy, and Maisie Davies, Rosie Carr, and Alaw Pyrs, who impressed during the Under-20 Six Nations, deserve their places. Alaw playing alongside her sister Gwenllian will be a memorable moment for their family and for us all.”
