Wales have recalled Lleucu George and Carys Cox to the starting backline for Saturday’s WXV Global Series Test against the USA at Cardiff Arms Park. George returns at fly-half, allowing Keira Bevan to move back to scrum-half, while Cox replaces Seren Singleton on the wing; the changes follow Wales’ convincing 50-19 win over South Africa and come as they seek a third consecutive victory.

Seren Lockwood is unavailable after suffering a head injury, while Cox has recovered from summer knee surgery. Georgia Evans will earn her 50th cap, with Alex Callender and Kate Williams again sharing the captaincy, and Molly Reardon, Sian Jones and Nikita Prothero joining the replacements. The USA, ranked sixth in the world, arrive after a notable comeback win over Ireland, presenting a tougher challenge for Wales.
