Wales' Dallavalle Steps Up as Cox Withdraws for Crucial Clash Against France
Hannah Dallavalle has been called into the starting XV for Wales' Women's Six Nations clash against France at Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday. Dallavalle, 29, was initially set to start on the bench but steps in for Carys Cox, who withdrew late due to injury. In a noteworthy addition, former Wales Under-20s captain Jenna de Vera could make her senior debut as a substitute after being included in the Wales 23. Wales aims for a significant achievement, seeking their first win over France in 10 years. The team is currently on a six-match losing streak in the Six Nations and has managed to win only one of the last 11 Tests under coach Sean Lynn.
