But Evans insists she is ready to play whatever role is required as the new-look squad prepare to face Scotland at the Principality Stadium on Saturday.
The versatile Saracens forward has become used to shifting between the second and back rows, even stepping off the bench when needed, and says adaptability has been key to her international career.
“Who knows what number I’ll have on my back, if selected. I’ve made it known I’m happier playing in the back row, but I don’t think I’d have got this far in my career by not taking every opportunity that came my way, so whatever number I get I’ll try my best,” said the 28-year-old Evans.

Now with 43 caps, Evans is one of the more experienced figures in a Wales squad undergoing significant change under head coach Sean Lynn ahead of the opening weekend of the Women’s Six Nations.
She admits the fresh environment has brought a different feel to camp.
“I feel incredibly old in the new environment Sean has created. It has been refreshing to have new coaching staff and players coming into camp for this championship and that goes hand in hand with this being a fresh start for us – we are not looking backwards.
“It’s crazy when girls are coming into camp who are still in college or have just finished their A Levels. That was 10 years or more ago for me, but they bring fresh vibes, are so excited and they give you so much energy.

“When I first came in it was a very similar team, so it’s exciting to have so many new faces and fresh ideas. The senior girls are learning as much off the younger players as we are teaching them.”
Wales head into the new Guinness Six Nations looking to reset after a difficult period that included a winless campaign and a challenging World Cup. Despite flashes of promise under Lynn, results have been hard to come by.
Evans believes the focus has now shifted firmly towards long-term progress.
“We know we haven’t lived up to expectations previously, but for us now it is about looking at the new cycle and the longer term picture, which is the next World Cup,” she added.
“We want to climb up the rankings and there is no pressure on us as such because we have a lot of new caps in our squad. It’s a new vibe, it’s exciting because there are so many new faces and new ideas.

“There is no pressure but we have to learn very quickly. We have to improve on our performances from the last couple of years.
“There were snippets of us really thriving under Sean Lynn over the last year but we need the full 80 minute performance. To do that we have to get our detail right and then results will take care of themselves.
“If we get our performances right there is no reason why we can’t get a couple of wins. It was a crazy, condensed first year for Sean.
“Now we are looking forward to the next four year cycle and he can really put his stamp on things and bring in whoever he wants. He can make his team new again and it will be exciting to see what he can do.
“The women’s game is growing and the World Cup showcased so many amazing players. Now we need to use the platform we’ve got to push the game forward.
“We are only a small nation but we have to keep using our voices to get more people engaged.”
With Wales kicking off their campaign in Cardiff, Evans is also hoping for strong home support to help drive the team forward.
“Our tagline is ‘Your presence is our power’. The more people that get behind us, and the louder the fans really lifts us - they really can change the course of a game when we are in the trenches.”
