Evans is part of Wales’ 10-player mixed squad and she will not be the only one to break records on Saturday.

Jodie Boyd-Ward will become the sport’s most capped player when she leads Wales out at Archers Arena.

The 32-year-old is currently on 44 international appearances, level with Welshman Harry Jones.

“It truly is an honour to be asked to captain Wales for the Celtic Cup, especially as it’s an opportunity to lead the squad out and look to reclaim the trophy,” Boyd-Ward said.

“Last year, I knew after an amazing tour to the US, that I needed to take some time out after not taking a break for the whole of my wheelchair rugby league career.

“Now I’m back and feeling better than ever, I’m looking forward to getting stuck in with the team and also seeing how both Scotland and Ireland have continued their development, as I know we have at Wales.”

Wales’ World Cup captain from 2022, Stuart Williams, is named as vice-captain.

The 40-year-old, who is Wales’ record international try scorer with 66, returns to the side after missing last year’s Wales matches.
