Scotland Women v Wales Women LIVE: TV channel, start time and score updates
@Source: walesonline.co.uk
Wales get their 2025 Women's Six Nations campaign under way today as they take on Scotland at the Hive Stadium in Edinburgh.
This weekend marks the start of a new era for this Welsh side, who have been through a tough time both on and off the pitch over the last year. Under former head coach Ioan Cunningham, Wales picked up the wooden spoon in last year's Six Nations before a "disgraceful" contract dispute with the WRU made some players consider walking away from the game altogether.
However, the appointment of new head coach Sean Lynn has been hailed as a breath of fresh air for the squad, with the former Gloucester-Hartpury boss focused on restoring a positive culture within Welsh women's rugby and ensuring his players take to the pitch with smiles on their faces.
Having only signed off with Gloucester-Hartpury six days ago by leading them to a third successive Premiership Women's Rugby title, Lynn has not had long with his new squad but appears to have made a big impact in his first few days in charge.
He named his side to face Scotland after just three training sessions, opting for a mix of youth and experience with props Maisie Davies and Jenni Scoble and lock Alaw Pyrs handed maiden Test starts. Davies and Scoble join Carys Phillips in the front row, with Abbie Fleming alongside Pyrs in the second row and Georgia Evans, Kate Williams and Bethan Lewis at the base of the scrum
Hannah Jones leads the side alongside Kayleigh Powell in midfield, with Jaz Joyce-Butchers at full-back and Lisa Neumann and Carys Cox named on the wings, while Keira Bevan and Lleucu George make up the half-back pairing.
Today's match kicks off at 4.45pm and is available to watch on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, with coverage getting under way at 4.30pm. Alternatively, you can follow live score updates right here.
