A French mum, 'no good player' dad and Welsh tears
Rising rugby star Stella Orrin reflects on her pride at making her senior Wales debut as she targets a first cap in the autumn internationals.
Stella Orrin, a 20-year-old prop for Brython Thunder, made her first senior matchday squad with numerous tears. Wales head coach Sean Lynn had to call her back to confirm the message. Orrin described the moment as "the best day of my life so far" and expressed her pride in representing her country. She credits her rugby-playing father, who she once considered a "no good" player, for her passion.
Orrin is currently training with the Wales senior squad and hopes to earn a starting position in the team for the upcoming WXV Global Series against South Africa, USA, and Japan.
