WALES Women head coach Rowland Phillips has included 14 uncapped players in his squad for the five autumn fixtures.

The November schedule features a finale against the Barbarians at Principality Stadium and a clash against Crawshay's in Ebbw Vale after trips to face Spain, Ireland and Scotland.

Hooker Carys Phillips continues as captain of a squad that features Newport's Cerys Hale, with the prop playing for Cardiff Blues this season because the Dragons have temporarily been left out of the WRU Regional Championship.

Rowland Phillips is relishing the chance to look at the next generation.

He said: "Our focus hasn't changed. We are already qualified for the 2021 Women's Rugby World Cup and our key aim is to build a squad of young players with significant experience under their belts.

"This autumn series is a huge opportunity to do that. All players will gain from the experience of travelling away for three testing encounters against Spain, Ireland and Scotland, all of whom still need to qualify for the World Cup.

"And to be part of two historic encounters in Wales at the end of November against the Crawhshay's and Barbarians is something we will all look forward to and enjoy."
