Wales make single change in search of first Women's Six Nations win
Head coach Sean Lynn has made one change for Wales‘ Women’s Six Nations finale against Italy, as his side look to secure their first win of the championship.
The sole change sees Seren Singleton return on the wing to win her fourth cap, replacing Hannah Dallavalle who drops to the bench. Freya Bell is left out of the matchday squad.
Despite losing their first four matches, Wales have shown flashes of promise in their games against Scotland and England.
Lynn said: “We all we know what is at stake in this final game of the Six Nations but our focus is to keep building our performances against an Italy side four places above us in the world rankings.
“We will need all the grit, determination and physicality we have shown throughout this tournament against a very capable Italy side. We have made real strides with our performance in each game, and we know we have to do that again in the final game of the Six Nations.
“We know we have moved the dial with our performances, but we have to be an 80-minute team at Test match level, and we need to show that at Cardiff Arms Park on Sunday.
“The players know if they win their own personal battle with their opposite number than we will have a produced a performance we can be proud of and taken another step forward.”
