  "account": "Wales' women's rugby team faced a disappointing setback after USA edged them in a WXV contest at Cardiff Arms Park. USA's Freda Tafuna delivered a standout performance, scoring a hat-trick in the match. The host team struggled to maintain fluidity and consistency throughout the game. Despite Wales' efforts to rally with tries from Keira Bevan, Kelsey Jones, Sisilia Tuipulotu, and Alex Callender, USA dominated the second half. The Eagles' winning streak now extends to three games, while Wales must regroup before their upcoming match in Japan.",
