Injury forces Butchers out of World Cup

Wales flanker Alisha Butchers sustained a significant knee injury during the win over Scotland on Sunday and will return home for further investigation and treatment.

Wales Women’s head coach Ioan Cunningham said, “Alisha is a fantastic player, she’s a huge part of our environment on and off the field and I have every confidence she will work as hard on her rehab as she does in training and on the pitch.
