I know it's probably furthest from most people's minds right now, but despite the WRU 

being you-know-whats I still want to support the actual players.

This, for my money, is the strongest 23 we've put out for a game in many a year. That bench, Lockwood aside, could be starters on any other day. 

Wales Women v Scotland Women

15 Nel Metcalfe (Gloucester/Hartpury)
14 Lisa Neumann (Harlequins)
13 Hannah Dallavalle (Gloucester/Hartpury)
12 Courtney Keight (Sale Sharks)
11 Jasmine Joyce-Butchers (Bristol Bears)
10 Lleucu George (Gloucester Hartpury)
9 Keira Bevan (Bristol Bears);
1 Gwenllian Pyrs (Sale Sharks)
2 Kelsey Jones (Gloucester/Hartpury)
3 Donna Rose (Saracens)
4 Alaw Pyrs (Gloucester/Hartpury)
5 Gwen Crabb (Gloucester/Hartpury)
6 Kate Williams (co-captain, Gloucester/Hartpury)
7 Bethan Lewis (Gloucester/Hartpury)
8 Alex Callender (co-captain, Gloucester/Hartpury)

Replacements:

16 Carys Phillips (Harlequins)
17 Maisie Davies (Bristol Bears)
18 Sisilia Tuipulotu (Gloucester/Hartpury)
19 Abbie Fleming (Harlequins)
20 Georgia Evans (Saracens)
21 Seren Lockwood (Gloucester/Hartpury)
22 Kayleigh Powell (Harlequins)
23 Carys Cox (Ealing Trailfinders)

Heartfelt congrats to Maisie Davies on the bench front row at 19. Her grandparents who are great supporters of fever tours will be over the moon.

I think she would've pushes Gwenllian close for that starting spot. I'd argue both front rows (team and bench) are evenly matched. 

Maisie and Alaw have been fantastic.

Wales' aspiration will be to get out of the group. Seemed pretty hopeless after the 6N, but the win down under has shown there's talent in the group.

All sorts of records for women's rugby going to be broken in this year's tournament. 82k sell out at Twickers for the final included.

In the midst of all the other chaos, its worth observing that there are no players based in Wales in the 23.

Best of luck and play well v the Scots.... time for a win against another 6 nations side.

Must admit, I did puzzle about were female centraly contracted players will get game time - especially as all the players are contracte to English clubs. Another not thought through / explained idea.

However, how long do we believe it will take the WRU to respond to any result ?
Becaus if the results are not great - "that's the reason we need change to turn things around ........."
or
If results are good "thats the reason why we need change to invest in our sucess ......."

We've got a stack of threads about the future shape of the game, regions, budgets, stadiums, teams etc. Can't we keep this one to purely rugby?
