Bethan Lewis is set to lead the side out at Affidea Stadium, with Kate Williams ruled out<\/a> of the rest of the tournament with a leg injury.<\/p>\n

Catherine Richards has also joined fellow wing Lisa Neumann on the sidelines<\/a> after suffering a serious knee injury against the Red Roses.<\/p>\n

The tournament returns this weekend after a two-week hiatus, with Wales looking to pick up their first win of the campaign.<\/p>\n

They are currently bottom of the table, but have two bonus points, which could prove crucial in their bid to avoid a third consecutive wooden spoon.<\/p>\n

Ireland are fourth, with their sole victory coming over Italy, who Wales host at Cardiff Arms Park in the final round on Sunday, 17 May. <\/p>\n

“I’m happy with the small wins against England, obviously we were disappointed with leaking 60 points, however set-piece and getting the try bonus point was very good for us,” said Lynn.<\/p>\n

“Ireland will be upset as a group, they threw everything at France and came away with nothing, they’re going to be hurt and wounded and are really going to be targeting us.<\/p>\n

“It’s all about making sure that we can back up everything we did well against England and everything we want to be putting right against Ireland.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bethan Lewis is set to lead the side out at Affidea Stadium, with Kate Williams ruled out of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":428478,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-428477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428477\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
