Wing Lisa Neumann returns for Wales in an extended 46-player training squad preparing for the autumn’s four-match WXV Global Series.

The 32-year-old, who remains unattached after leaving Harlequins in July, missed almost all of the 2026 Six Nations after suffering a hamstring injury in the opening game against Scotland.

Head coach Sean Lynn has named 14 uncapped players as preparations begin for home games against South Africa and the USA in September, before two away Tests against Japan in October.

Among those yet to feature in an official Test are Lily Hawkins, Amy Williams, Kelsie Webster, Stella Orrin and Lucy Issac, who all featured in June’s uncapped victory against the Barbarians at Twickenham.

“This is a new look Wales squad for a new season as we prepare for an exciting and demanding WXV campaign,” said Lynn.

“The players selected have all impressed and will be put through a robust pre-season training camp before we select the final squad for the Test matches against South Africa, USA and Japan.”

Lynn’s side ended a nine-game losing streak against Barbarians at Allianz Stadium.

They lost all five of their Six Nations matches for the second year in a row, finishing bottom for a third consecutive season.

The extended squad features 37 players who have played Celtic Challenge rugby for Brython Thunder and Gwalia Lightning and includes new faces in fly half Ffion Williams, prop Crystal James and hooker Shannelle Williams, while centre Savannah Picton Powell returns after injury.

“All the players were given individualised training programmes which they followed before meeting up for block one of pre-season,” added Lynn.

“High standards and clear expectations have been set for the players and that will allow us to have a real focus on the rugby.”
