Sean Lynn has named his Wales side for Sunday’s Guinness Women’s Six Nations finale against Italy at Cardiff Arms Park, with Seren Singleton coming in for her fourth cap as the sole change to the starting XV.

Singleton, who made her Wales debut against Scotland at the start of the tournament, is selected on the wing, replacing Hannah Dallavalle in the starting XV.

Flanker Bethan Lewis will lead Wales for the third time in the 2026 campaign. The Wales pack that faced Ireland in Belfast is named again, with props Gwenllian Pyrs and Sisilia Tuipulotu and hooker Kelsey Jones continuing in the front row for the fifth consecutive Test match.

Locks Branwen Metcalfe and Georgia Evans pack down together for the second time, with Gwen Crabb ruled out with a knee injury. The backrow sees Lewis captain the side at openside, with Jorja Aiono at blindside and Bryonie King at number eight.

Experienced scrum-half Keira Bevan, who brings 82 caps to the role, partners fly-half Lleucu George at half-back.

Courtney Keight and Carys Cox form the midfield partnership, while Jasmine Joyce starts on the left wing and Kayleigh Powell is at full-back.

“We all know what is at stake in this final game of the Six Nations but our focus is to keep building our performances against an Italy side four places above us in the world rankings,” Lynn said.

“We will need all the grit, determination and physicality we have shown throughout this tournament against a very capable Italy side.

“We have made real strides with our performance in each game, and we know we have to do that again in the final game of the Six Nations.

“We know we have moved the dial with our performances, but we have to be an 80-minute team at Test match level, and we need to show that at Cardiff Arms Park on Sunday.

“The players know if they win their own personal battle with their opposite number then we will have produced a performance we can be proud of and taken another step forward.”
