Wales make five changes as Lynn rewards bench

Wales head coach Sean Lynn has shuffled his starting lineup for the upcoming WXV fixture against Japan, introducing five changes following last week's victory in Tokyo. Bethan Lewis, Gwen Crabb, Gwenllian Pyrs, Lleucu George, and Courtney Keight have all earned promotions to the starting fifteen.

The team is looking to build on their recent success while managing the absence of Freya Bell, who sustained a knee injury during the previous match. Lynn emphasized the importance of rewarding players who contributed from the bench during the last outing as the squad aims for a consistent performance across the full eighty minutes.
