Callender in Valkyries Development XV for season finale

Wales international back-row forward Alex Callender will play for Valkyries Development XV in their final Tyrrells Premier 15s Development League match of the season against Firwood Waterloo at Sixways on Saturday (kick-off 12.30pm).

Callender, who won her first Wales cap in this season’s Six Nations,  played for Valkyries first XV in last weekend’s historic first-ever Tyrrells Premier 15s home win over Darlington Mowden Park and turns out quickly as the Development XV seek to end their season with their fourth win in a rearranged match against the league’s bottom club.

England Under-20s new cap Lauren Leatherland also starts and along with Callender is one of nine players who were involved against DMP who are in the Development XV squad this week.
