Welsh Rugby Union - Wales win final game on Day 1 of Six Nations Women's U18 Festival

The Six Nations Women’s U18 Festival kicked-off with six, 35-minute matches in which France were the only team to win both games.

Having beaten Scotland 34-0, they then scored five tries in a 31-12 triumph over Wales. Siwan Lillicrap’s side then rounded off their day with a 12-0 win over the Scots.

Head coach Lillicrap picked two different starting XVs for the back-to-back games and saw Shanelle Williams and Evie Hill cross for tries against the powerful French. Hannah Marshall also added a conversion.

Against Scotland, skipper Seren Lockwood scampered over at the posts from a tap and go penalty and Saran Jones added the conversion. IN the final play of the game, Fion Davies was worked over in the right corner.
