Wales Eyes Redemption Against Italy with Key Change in Women's Six Nations Showdown
AI Summary
Wales makes only one starting change for their crucial Women's Six Nations match against Italy on Sunday at 12:15 BST. Seren Singleton returns to the wing, having made her debut against Scotland and previously starting against France and England. She missed last weekend's defeat to Ireland, where Hannah Dallavalle took her place; Dallavalle now moves to the bench, while Freya Bell drops out of the matchday 23.
Head coach Sean Lynn expressed his frustration with the team's performance in Belfast, emphasizing the need for redemption. He stated, "they are the ones that are going to fix it," as Wales aims to avoid finishing last in the Championship for the third consecutive year. To achieve this, they must secure a victory against the Azzurre while hoping Scotland does not win against Ireland.
Lynn noted the visible frustration among players upon their return to camp, highlighting the urgency of their situation:
We’ve got 80 minutes to put that right. We haven’t next week.
Italy enters the match with momentum, having recently defeated Scotland and scored five tries against England, the reigning world champions. Lynn acknowledged the need for a strong defensive performance, recalling last year's record score against Wales in Parma. He stressed the importance of winning collisions to create a competitive ruck speed, which is crucial for slowing down Italy’s attacking game.
