Development Squad for Euro Championships

Welsh Rugby Union | Wales & Regions Published 2:50 pm 27th Apr 2007 News

The tournament, organised by FIRA, takes place between April 28th – May 5th and sees four National Development teams of the Six Nations competing countries combine with the four strongest National Senior Teams from non-Six Nations countries.

The seven day tournament will see the Wales Development squad take on the Netherlands, Sweden and France Development who are all in Pool B. The team then finishing top of the pool will play the team that tops group A, which could either be England Development, Russia, Italy Development or Spain, in the final on May 5th. There are also play-offs from 3rd place down to eighth.

The squad includes players who have represented Wales, Wales Development, Wales U19 and the Welsh Students this season and is being coached by ex-internationals Kylie Wilson and Liza Burgess together with Bryn Postans.
