Megan Davey, 26, has reignited her international ambitions with Wales after admitting she nearly quit the sport. The uncapped scrum-half faces stiff competition from Keira Bevan and Seren Lockwood for a starting spot. Despite the pressure, Davey emphasizes the supportive dynamic within the squad, stating there is no animosity among the nines.

She previously started at fly-half for Loughborough and believes the best player should be selected based on merit. Wales opens their WXV campaign against South Africa at Cardiff Arms Park on Friday, 18 September at 19:15 BST. For Davey, any potential involvement would represent the culmination of a 15-year journey.

She hopes to make her family and coaches proud, viewing a debut as the final step toward feeling she has truly "made it." She is eager to seize the opportunity and contribute to the team's success in the tournament.
