WXV2 – The Last Rites All three games are here, Wales v Japan first; Australia v Scotland second; South Africa v Italy down below. The final pecking-order comes last. Wales v Japan The Sakura started with deft handling, led by Sachiko Kato, but a fluffed pass let Kayleigh Powell find a long boomer to touch.
Australia v Scotland Bryan Easson has made wholesale changes to his starting side. That may be a reaction to a close game against their last opponents – a win over Japan 19-13 – but some of the starters show he is still looking beyond this 2024 WXV. A prime example is Leia Brebner-Holden, who sends
