Wales have gone for a blend of the trusted and the untried as they bid to make a mark at the Women’s World Cup this month.

The Scarlets have thrown off the gloves and are ready for a bare-knuckle fight with the WRU over how the game should operate in west Wales.

First, the Ospreys paraded Swansea Council, now the Scarlets have trumpeted new investors from the USA as the Welsh regions scrap it out to prove how undroppable they are.

The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) is launching a major consultation to reshape Welsh rugby, inviting fans, clubs, and players to help decide whether to keep four teams or cut to as few as two.

Steve Tandy will become Welsh rugby’s first Welsh-born permanent head coach since Gareth Jenkins (2005-2007) when he takes up his appointment on 1 September.

Louis Rees-Zammit may not have to play very many club games before he is back for Wales, according to new coach Steve Tandy.

Steve Tandy has a huge task ahead of him, but day one as the new Wales head coach went well enough as he tried his very public image on for size, reports Graham Thomas.

The Lions are on their way home, with a 2-1 series win under their belt, one new Welsh Test Lion, and a successful Welsh tour manager

It was not the finish Wales would have wanted as the second Test went decisively in Australia's favour, but head coach Sean Lynn reckons his squad are in good shape for the World Cup.

Six days on and the controversial end to the Lions’ win in Melbourne is still being discussed with Jac Morgan still at the centre of the debate.

Former Wales wing Louis Rees-Zammit says he has had “unbelievable” interest from clubs following his decision to return to rugby union - but where next?

Wales take on Australia again on Friday morning, searching for the perfect lift ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup.

He’s back . . . or soon will be. Having crossed the Atlantic to live his dream as a potential NFL superstar, Louis Rees-Zammit is coming home, as Graham Thomas reports.

Andy Farrell has shuffled his cards for the Lions’ final Test in Australia, but there’s no easy deal for Jac Morgan.

Firstly, Jac Morgan hogged the headlines because the Lions could win without him . . . then he hogged the headlines because they clearly could not.

Sean Lynn’s first win as Wales Women’s coach had been a while coming, but now he wants a repeat performance against Australia this weekend.

Of the current British and Irish Lions squad, only Owen Farrell knows what it takes to win a series, so the management have turned to Martin Johnson to set the tone.

The Lions have a chance to win the series on Saturday but know Australia have a far better record in Melbourne and will react strongly to their Brisbane setback.

As the only Welshman left in the Lions squad, Jac Morgan was always going to be a selection talking point, but it should be nothing to do with his nationality, says Andy Farrell.

Wales fans have been invited to celebrate the Wales Women's team's big year ahead with a day of rugby, music, and community fun.
