Wales coach Sean Lynn has chosen two uncapped players for the team's first game of the Women's Six Nations tournament against Scotland.
Seren Singleton and Jorja Aiono will earn their first Test caps when they take the field. This marks a significant moment for both players who have worked their way up through the Welsh rugby system.
The Women's Six Nations is the premier European rugby tournament, featuring England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. Teams compete annually for the championship title.
Both new players were part of a larger group of nine uncapped players named to Wales' extended squad earlier. The squad also included props Stella Orrin and Elan Jones, centres Savannah Picton-Powell and Kelsie Webster, and wing Nikita Prothero among the newcomers.
Lynn's decision to blood new talent shows Wales is looking to build depth and experience ahead of future tournaments.
New players getting their first chance represents Wales building for the future in women's rugby. The Six Nations is the biggest annual tournament in European rugby, so debuts here show the team is changing and growing.
Wales will face Scotland in their Six Nations opener, with four more games to follow in the tournament.
