Wales look to finish campaign in style

WALES Women field a team showing four changes for their final Six Nations match against France in Brive tonight (8pm).

Coach Rowland Phillips drafts in scrum-half Sian Moore, wing Jasmine Joyce, centre Gemma Rowland and full-back Elinor Snowsill.

Wales have lost their last three matches, but were much-improved in the 12-7 defeat by Ireland.

“There are only small parts of our game that need improving. We didn’t want to make drastic changes,” said Phillips.

“The players showed the right amount of attitude and desire last Saturday in Cardiff, which we want them to carry into this weekend’s game.”

Phillips says Wales will look to end the campaign with a victory as they reflect on an emotional period that has seen the players mourn the death of teammate Elli Norkett.

“The girls wanted to win the Ireland game for Elli, so they were disappointed,” he said.

“But their performance showed the respect to Elli they wanted to and we go to France now and it our last opportunity to finish the competition on a high.” Wales Women: E Snowsill (N-G Dragons); J Joyce (Scarlets), G Rowland (N-G Dragons), R De Filippo (N-G Dragons), A Taviner (Ospreys); R Wilkins (Ospreys), S Moore (N-G Dragons); C Thomas (Scarlets), C Phillips (Ospreys, c), A Evans (Ospreys), R Rowe (N-G Dragons), M Clay (Ospreys), S Harries (Scarlets), R Taylor (Scarlets), S PowellHughes (Ospreys).
