Episode 27. WXV1 Wales v Australia 😢 (6/11/23)

Join us for the final game of the inaugural WXV competition where Wales have faced higher ranked Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

'Best of the rest' Wales, have an opportunity to take a scalp, with all teams in the WXV1 group ranked higher than them. To be the best you've got to play the best!

Caryl Thomas and Gemma Hallett break down the Welsh performance, with an immediately look back at the Australia game, heart rates are still! Was this the most dysfunctional episode? Yes, probably, but it was raw and real. As always we take a look around the clubs, hear from Llantwit Fardre RFC on their new girls youth rugby, and some other news from Wales Rugby League and The Celtic Challenge. Join us to #BackTheGirls and let’s get behind all in Welsh rugby!
