Wales lose injured Powell for entire WXV campaign
Wales have been dealt another injury blow ahead of their WXV Global Series with Kayleigh Powell ruled out of the entire campaign.
Wales have suffered a significant blow ahead of their WXV Global Series campaign as Kayleigh Powell, the standout player for the team at full-back, will miss the entire tournament due to a hamstring injury sustained in training. Powell, a 27-year-old sevens Olympian, had made an impression not only as a defender but also when she stepped into fly-half to help Wales end their nine-match losing streak against the Barbarians.
Head coach Sean Lynn now faces the challenge of filling the void left by Powell's absence, as the team will face South Africa, USA, and Japan in the upcoming Tests.
