Ffion Lewis Makes History as First Welsh Woman Selected for Both Rugby World Cups

Ffion Lewis, a 28‑year‑old Welsh rugby player, is set to make history as the first woman from Wales to compete in both the Rugby Union and Rugby League World Cups. After overcoming a serious knee injury and a lack of contract renewal with the WRU, she returned to league with the London Broncos and earned a place in the 2026 Rugby League World Cup squad in Australia.
