TWO Worcester Valkyries have been named in Wales’ 36-player squad for the upcoming Women’s Six Nations.

Centre Hannah Bluck is one of ten uncapped players in the side while tighthead prop Meg York is also in the squad.

Wales Women head coach Rowland Phillips: “There’s a fresh feel to the squad, and a sense of building for the long term.

“The exciting thing for us as coaches is that we’re identifying players outside of this squad who we can see have great potential, whether that’s at regional U18 or regional senior level. “Those youngsters are allowing us to forward plan as we build towards the 2021 World Cup.”

Wales Women begin the tournament by welcoming Scotland to Colwyn Bay’s Stadium Zip World on Friday, February 9 (6pm).

They will play all their home fixtures in this year’s tournament in North Wales, with the exception of their game against Italy, which will take place at Principality Stadium as part of a double-header with the men’s squad on Sunday, March 11.
