Warriors Women trio to face Yapp’s Barbarians

Three Warriors Women players will find themselves on the opposing side to their Director of Rugby Jo Yapp in Cardiff and team-mate Sasha Acheson on Saturday.

Yapp is Head Coach of the Barbarians who face a Wales Women side including Gwenn Crabb, Alex Callender and Ffion Lewis at the Principality Stadium (kick-off 11.45am).

Lock Crabb has been named in Wales’ starting XV with back-row forward Callender and scrum-half Lewis among the replacements.

England prop Acheson has been named on the bench by Yapp for the Barbarians.

They will be involved in the first match of a double-header in Cardiff with Wales men – including former Warriors wing Josh Adams – facing their Barbarians counterparts at the Principality Stadium (kick-off 2.45pm).
