WALES women make a single change for their trip to Ireland in the Six Nations on Sunday.
\nLisa Neumann will make her first start for Wales slotting in at full-back, while Robyn Wilkins is dropped to the bench.
\nWales coach Rowland Phillips said: “Lisa has been pushing hard for a place in the starting team and she deserves her opportunity this Sunday.
\n“We have a lot of talented back-three players in the squad, so we think Lisa will slot in well alongside Hannah Bluck and Jess Kavanagh-Williams – two players who pose threats from the wing.”
\nThe change comes after Wales suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of the current holders England in their second match of the tournament.
\nPhillips will be looking for his side to bounce back after their 52-0 defeat, he said: \u201cWe need to show that we’re improving in the areas that we’ve been working on this year.
\n“This will be a game between two very evenly-matched teams, and coming off the back of the last match we’re very keen to give a good account of ourselves.”
\nThe last time the two sides faced each other Ireland ran away winners in the Six Nations warm-up in Ystrad Mynach earlier this year.
\nSpeaking about facing Ireland on Sunday Phillips said: “They’ve got a lot of new personnel across the board, but the team is settled and experienced. It’s up for us to show what we’re about as a team. We’ll certainly be prepared for a hugely competitive match in front of a boisterous Irish crowd this Sunday.”
\nWales women face Ireland 3pm on Sunday at Donnybrook.
