Following a successful Autumn International campaign, the Wales Womens' squad has been announced to go forward into the 2006 Six Nations. The national womens' team will play all their home fixtures for the 2006 campaign at Pontypridd RFC's Sardis Road ground.
Five players move up from the Development squad after excellent performances against Clifton/Worcester. Vikki Gaylard, Rhian Bowden and Sarah Simkin come up in the forwards, with Abby King and Karen Mayze stepping up in the backs. Alongside the additions, Jenny Davies, Becky Davies and Claire Donovan's positions in the senior squad have been formalised, following their call-ups from Development midway through the autumn. Wales look forward to kicking-off their campaign away to England on 4th February, before hosting Scotland on the 10th February and visiting Ireland on 25th February. They round up the competition with two home games against Spain (10th March) and France (17th March). Jilly Holroyd, Manager of Women's and Girls' Rugby looks forward to the forthcoming fixtures "We're very positive that the squad selected will make an impact in the Six Nations, taking confidence from the victory over Italy back in October. We are also delighted to have arranged some challenging fixtures for the Development squad, particularly in the shape of an away match against Holland, who are certainly rising in the rankings of women's rugby".
