Women’s Rugby World Cup: Carys Phillips joins Wales greats by making fourth tournament

Advertisements

Looking ahead to Wales’ World Cup opener, the enormity of the Scotland match is not lost on Phillips and her team-mates.

Canada are tipped to top Pool B, which leaves Wales, Scotland and Fiji fighting it out for the runners-up spot to progress to the quarter-finals.

“It is a repeat of our first game in New Zealand in 2021 and it is massive for us,” said Phillips.

“All eyes are on that and we have to get our performance right to give us the momentum we need in the competition.

“If we can get out of the pool stages then anything could happen. We could meet England in the quarter-finals in Bristol, which would be a massive event.”

“Pre-season has been tough, but really good for us,” she added.

“Ben Flower has come in to help us on the contact area, which was a massive work-on for us after the Six Nations.

“The tour to Australia was much needed and we are now much closer as a group heading into the World Cup.”
