Seventeen-year-old forward Lleucu George will make her first start for Wales in today's Women's Rugby World Cup match against Hong Kong in the UCD Bowl (17:00).

George, who won her first cap off the bench against New Zealand in the opening game of Pool A, will start on the blindside as part of nine changes to Wales' starting line-up from the one which faced Canada on Sunday.

Wales cannot qualify from what was dubbed the 'group of death' before the tournament, after defeats against New Zealand (44-12) and Canadan (15-0) respectively, but will be clear favourties to see off a side who have conceded 219 points and scored none thus far.

And Pembrokeshire College student and Whitland Under 18s player George, will become the youngest ever player to start a World Cup match for Wales after being named at blindside flanker by head coach Rowland Phillips.

Joyce, now with Bristol Ladies, also returns on the wing after missing out against Canada, while Whitland No Sioned Harries will start for the third consecutive time.

Harries crossed for a try against New Zealand and has been one of her side's best performers thus far.
 

The game will be streamed live on the S4C website (plus the S4C Chwaraeon Facebook page) and, for the first time in the tournament, will be televised live on ITV4.
