WXV Global Series: Tafuna gives USA early lead over Wales
Watch and follow live as Wales host the United States in Cardiff in WXV Global Series.
In an entertaining WXV match at Cardiff Arms Park, USA edged Wales with a scoreline of 26-24. USA number eight Freda Tafuna, who also scored a hat-trick of tries against Ireland last week, was named player of the match. Tafuna's impressive performance was aided by a strong display from her team's pack and driving line-out. Despite Wales' resurgence, they struggled with handling errors and indiscipline throughout the match.
Wales' co-captain Kate Williams and her namesake Amy both threatened with their running, but USA dominated the second-half and secured the victory. Wales' pack showed resilience, powering forward to get the ball into the try-zone, while Tafuna's pace and England's powerful Coulibaly contributed to the win.
