Wales internationals Jasmine and Alisha Joyce will play club rugby in Wales next season after ending their six-year spell with Bristol Bears. The married couple, who both featured for Brython Thunder earlier this year, confirmed their move to the Celtic Challenge as they prioritize family life with young son Ralphie.

Alisha Joyce cited the demanding travel between Wales and Bristol as incompatible with raising a child. The flanker explained that their families and friends provide essential support for Ralphie's upbringing. Jasmine, a three-time Olympian, emphasized this wasn't taken lightly but represents the right choice for their family situation.

Both sisters insist they remain ambitious at club and international level despite the relocation. Jasmine stated their son sits at the center of all decisions while maintaining their professional rugby careers. They see this as an opportunity to prove themselves in Welsh club rugby.

The move strengthens Welsh club rugby's profile while keeping two experienced internationals relevant for national team selection. Their combined six years in English rugby brings valuable experience back to domestic competition.
