Veteran Jess Fishlock in no rush to make decision on Wales future
Fishlock has come full circle, having made her senior debut for Wales in host country Switzerland as a teenager in 2006 and arriving back here as her side's all-time top goalscorer.
'I don't know right now,' said Fishlock, asked about her future with Wales. 'I think that's a tough one. I need to take a little seat and have a little think, but no decisions are to be made.
'As of right now, I'm still a Welsh player.'
Head coach Rhian Wilkinson largely shouldered the blame for the defeat, also pointing to fitness gaps and lack of regular club minutes for many in her squad, and said it was too soon to be thinking about anyone's longer-term tenure.
'What I've said to all my players is just to take a breath,' said Wilkinson. 'I think we're right in the thick of something, there's so much emotion.
'There were great moments, and there were really hard moments and painful moments and big lessons and things we are excited about, and it's not the time to look at future plans for Jess, for Kayleigh (Barton), for some of our more experienced players.
'I hope that they stick together tonight and that they enjoy one another's company, that they celebrate the moments that they can celebrate.
'Jess has a goal and an assist, Hannah Cain has a goal, and that's what I ask of this team, is that they stick together as a team and are around each other for a while, then bigger life decisions can be made in the future.'

The expected Lions team now from all the pundits as Jac Morgan causes division
The expected Lions team now from all the pundits as Jac Morgan causes division It is touch and go whether the Wales star is selected for the first Lions Test Jac Morgan of the British & Irish Lions (Image: 2025 Getty Images ) There have been very few players on this British & Irish Lions tour who have made as positive a contribution as Jac Morgan, yet there are no guarantees the Wales star will be selected for the first Test against the Wallabies this weekend. Last Saturday's comprehensive victory over the invitational AUSNZ XV has given Andy Farrell a number of selection headaches ahead of the first Test against the Wallabies and the make-up of the backrow will be at the forefront of his thoughts. Morgan put in another industrious performance, dishing out a mountain of tackles, while his work at the attacking breakdown was mightily impressive, which allowed others to shine. But he faces stiff competition from the likes of Tom Curry, Josh van der Flier and Henry Pollock, among others, for a place in the 23. Despite Morgan's fine form many former players and journalists are not tipping the 25-year-old for a place in the Test team. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. Irish legend and La Rochelle head coach Ronan O'Gara, who is working as a pundit on Sky Sports, did not include Morgan in his Test side, opting instead for van der Flier. Article continues below "I've gone with familiarity in the back-row [Ireland trio Beirne, Van der Flier, Conan], because I think the bench impact of Ben Earl and Henry Pollock just adds an awful lot to it, with probably the benefit of them covering as centres as well," he told Sky Sports. "I like what they do as hybrids." The Independent have not selected Morgan in its Test team, with Curry preferred but the Wales star was included in their squad. However, Morgan has won support in some quarters with former England openside and 2003 Rugby World Cup winner Neil Back believes the Ospreys man should start but believes Farrell will go down a different path. "If it was solely my choice and he goes well then I would pick Morgan 100%," Back told talkSPORT. 'I would love Morgan to get in because I sort of feel it's wrong if there's not a Welsh player in the Lions XV. 'I think Ollie Chessum will be the six, Jack Conan at eight and that leaves the seven. "So does he stick with van der Flier, or does he go with Tom Curry or Jac Morgan, who's been particularly good at turning over the ball and sort of throws his body in there? "If I'm Andy I think he'll pick van der Flier because he will go with what he knows and he is an incredible player." Join WalesOnline Rugby's WhatsApp Channel here to get the breaking news sent straight to your phone for free Following the comprehensive victory over the AUNZ XV last weekend The Telegraph gave Morgan a six out of 10 rating for his performance but a four out of 10 chance of starting the first Test. MailOnline rated Morgan's performance as an eight out of 10, while Rugby Pass gave him a seven out of 10. But the Telegraph's senior rugby writer Charlie Morgan says he would select a backrow of Curry, Morgan and Jack Conan with Ben Earl on the bench. "This would require Farrell to take a leap of faith and overlook Beirne and van der Flier, a pair of loyal performers with intimate knowledge of his intricate systems, while holding back Pollock and trusting a Curry-Morgan double act to deliver on a month's worth of alchemy as opposed to years of familiarity," writes Morgan in The Telegraph. "Margins are terribly fine, but I like what these sevens offer as a collective and feel as though Earl has forced his way in." Lions legends Sir Ian McGeechan and Sam Warburton also selected Morgan in their starting Test side.

The reality is it is touch and go whether Morgan makes the Test squad and Farrell could go with a player he trusts in Ireland star van der Flier. All will be revealed on Thursday. Below is the Lions team and players who are currently being picked the most by all the pundits. Pundits' most popular Lions XV: Blair Kinghorn; Tommy Freeman, Huw Jones, Sione Tuipulotu, James Lowe, Finn Russell, Jamison Gibson-Park; Ellis Genge, Dan Sheehan, Tadhg Furlong, Maro Itoje (Captain), Joe McCarthy, Ollie Chessum, Josh van der Flier, Jack Conan.

Rhayader farmer sets new British two-stand and solo record
Two mid Wales shearers have set a new eight-hour two-stand British ewe shearing record - on the hottest day of the year. The duo of Gethin Lewis and Llyr Evans smashed the previous record of 1,075 ewes, set by Martin Howlett and Jonny Roberts in 2019. Shearing started at 7am at Gethin's family farm of Glan Elan, in Cwmdauddwr, Rhayader, on Saturday, July 12. After four runs the last ewe was shorn at 5pm, meaning a combined total of 1,364 ewes had been shorn in eight hours. Gethin, a two-time Welsh champion shearer, also set a new British individual record, shearing 996 ewes throughout the day. Llyr shore 668 ewes, which also eclipsed the previous solo record set by Huw Jones, of 663. 'I'm delighted that our attempt was successful,' said Gethin, 29. 'It's been a 12-month journey preparing for today, but all the hard work has been worth it.' Llyr added: 'All roads led to today, and I'm proud of what we have both achieved – it feels great to be a British shearing record holder.' Of the hot weather, Llyr, from Trawsgoed, near Aberystwyth, added: 'The extreme heat made the challenge more difficult and at times during the day it was extremely difficult and we both needed to dig deep to get through to the end.' Both Gethin and Llyr paid tribute to all those who had supported their attempt. 'This record would not have been possible without the help and support of both our families,' said Gethin. 'Thank you, it means so much to us both that we have achieved what we have here today. 'We'd also like to pay tribute to the support and commitment of so many people, too many to name individually. Llyr Evans in action. (Image: British Wool) 'From the farmers supplying the sheep, pen men that were here with us all day, the wool wrappers and all our family and friends – a huge thank you.' Gareth Jones, head of member engagement at British Wool, said: 'On behalf of British Wool, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Gethin and Llyr on their incredible achievement. 'Setting a shearing record requires not only personal dedication and skill but also the collective effort of a strong support team. We commend everyone involved in making this success possible.'

Tonight's rugby news as WRU set date for uncertainty to end and Wales demolished by England
Tonight's rugby news as WRU set date for uncertainty to end and Wales demolished by England These are the rugby stories making evening headlines on Monday, July 14. The WRU made a major announcement on Monday (Image: Huw Evans Picture Agency Ltd ) These are your rugby evening headlines on Monday, July 14. WRU set date for uncertainty to end The Welsh Rugby Union has set a deadline of October to announce its new structure for the professional game in Wales. The governing body has announced it is seriously considering cutting the number of professional teams in Wales from four to three - or even two. There will be a consultation process taking place over August and September with the four professional clubs - Cardiff, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets - and players being the primary stakeholder groups to contribute, but a comprehensive engagement programme will ensure all representative groups of the game in Wales have the opportunity to contribute. WRU CEO Abi Tierney will seek the WRU board's approval of strategy for consultation and the commencement of the formal consultation period in August, while in September there will be a consultation and engagement process.

Article continues below Then in October the intention is for the WRU board to approve the new strategy while also announcing the new structure of the professional game to all stakeholders. October will be the date where the new structure will be in place and the strong likelihood is it will include a reduction to two professional clubs. In its statement the WRU says the restructure will be in place for the 2027/28 season at the latest but the reality is if they reduce the number of teams it will be for the 2026/27 season. Wales hammered by England Wales were well beaten by England on Monday in their fifth-place semi-final at the Stadio Luigi Zaffanella, Viadana. After a decent start, England turned the screw and eventually ran out 51-13 winners. The second half saw Richard Whiffin's youngsters completely overrun. Two Harry Wilde penalties saw Wales edge ahead early on in the first period and despite capitalising on Ollie Streeter's 20-minute red card, Sion Davies' converted score was as good as it got for Wales and England clicked through the gears. Tries from Campbell Ridl and Archie McParland put England in front before they ran riot in the second half. McParland bagged a brace after Josh Bellamy and Jack Bracken also went over after the break, before Nick Lilley completed the job late on. Read the full report here. Keenan lost a stone as virus hit camp Hugo Keenan says he lost a stone in weight after a sickness bug threatened to end his Lions tour. The full-back was laid up for a fortnight with a virus that also affected other members of the squad earlier on in the tour. The Leinsterman made his first appearance Down Under against the Waratahs in Sydney. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. Now getting back to fitness, the Irishman is putting his hand up to start the first Test with doubts over Blair Kinghorn's fitness. Keenan said: 'It wasn't exactly what you planned on when getting on tour. I was sick for about 12 days, it was rough. Getting off the toilet was an issue, and I lost about five or six kilos. There was a little bit of a virus going around camp but for whatever reason it hit me on a different level. 'I was isolating for a good bit, and most lads recovered pretty quick from it, but I've never had something like that. God, it was pretty horrible. It was frustrating. Every day you think you're going to be waking up the next day better. You think it's going to be sort of a 24-hour, 48-hour thing. The tour will hopefully kick on for me here and I can start enjoying it a bit more. 'It was a challenge but that's part of touring life, isn't it? All these little bits, manning up as much as you can. I felt terrible in that Waratahs game. But look, sometimes you just have to front up and do what's needed.' Suaalii up for Tuipulotu rivalry By Duncan Bech, PA Rugby Union Correspondent, Brisbane Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii may be reluctant to reveal the details of his Murrayfield flashpoint with Sione Tuipulotu but is keen to revive their rivalry when Australia meet the British and Irish Lions on Saturday. Suaalii snarled 'I'll see you next time' after he was forced off in the Wallabies' defeat by Scotland following a heavyweight collision with Tuipulotu. 'Next time' comes in Brisbane if Tuipulotu is picked at inside centre for the series opener and Suaalii has declined to stoke the fires ahead of their rematch. 'There has been a lot of talk around that moment. At the end of the day, it's a game of footie. Whatever is said on the field, stays on the field,' Suaalii said. 'I'm just focused on that I can do for the team – I'm not going to speak on it to be fair. I'm sure it'll be a great challenge and a great battle. 'I respect my opposition, but at the same time I focus on myself and what I can bring, while focusing on my team-mates.' Cross-code superstar Suaalii last year moved to union in a deal worth £2.61million over three years and the 21-year-old has revealed it was the prospect of facing the Lions that convinced him to switch. 'I've always dreamed I wanted to be a part of something so special that happens every 12 years, so that was probably the biggest thing coming across,' he said. 'Just to be a part of the squad is something so special for myself, my family and everyone that's gotten me to this point. 'I was nine when the Lions came here in 2013 and remember watching it. In my house, all the young kids sit on the floor and I just remember being real close to the TV, watching it. Article continues below 'It's something so special as a kid that sparks you to do something great in your life, so to be a part of this squad, it's amazing.'
