Whitland and Haverfordwest Ladies have contributed five players to the Wales Women's squad for the autumn series, with Bristol's Jasmine Joyce also again included.

Head coach Rowland Phillips has named 20 uncapped players in his 43-strong squad and this is the first squad selected since this season's launch of Wales' first domestic regional league for women.

"The regional programme has been very successful with regards to improving standards in the women's game, and it's delivered what we hoped it would," said former St Davids RFC player Phillips.

"It's enabled us to discover new players and it's highlighted our strength in depth."

From The Borderettes, No 8 Sioned Harries inevitably keeps her place, and there is a first call up for second row Maisie McKenzie. No 10 George meanwhile, who already has a World Cup behind her despite still being only 18, is also included.

Haverfordwest centre Lisa Neumann and second row Awen Prysor are also selected, following on from their involvement in the Six Nations earlier this year.

And Joyce, who has been leading Wales on the international 7s circuit, continues her status as a dual international player.
