Wales Coach Sean Lynn Signals Changes Ahead of WXV Test Against Japan

Wales head coach Sean Lynn has suggested that he may make changes to the lineup for the second WXV Test against Japan, scheduled for Saturday. After securing a 17-0 victory in Tokyo last weekend, Lynn noted that his team lacked 'ball toughness' during the match.

The bench played a crucial role in the previous win, featuring experienced players like Gwenllian Pyrs and Bethan Lewis. Lynn emphasized the importance of rewarding players who seize their opportunities, stating that no player can claim ownership of their position in the squad.

Wales aims to conclude their WXV campaign with three wins out of four, having previously defeated South Africa and Japan. A victory on Saturday would not only boost their confidence but also provide momentum heading into the 2027 Women's Six Nations, where they will seek to improve their standing after a long winless streak in the championship.
