Wales Prop Jenni Scoble Injured, Misses Crucial World Cup Finale Against Fiji

Wales has faced a significant setback ahead of their World Cup finale against Fiji this Saturday, with prop Jenni Scoble ruled out due to an ankle injury. Scoble sustained the injury during last weekend's match against Canada, forcing her to leave the field prematurely.

Injury and Replacement

Head coach Sean Lynn has swiftly responded to this setback by calling up Abbey Constable to the squad. Constable, who has previously played for the Welsh team Gwalia Lightning and Leicester Tigers, brings valuable experience and skill to the team as they prepare for their final game in Exeter.

Tournament Context

Both Wales and Fiji have had a challenging run in Pool B, with losses against Scotland and Canada. As a result, neither team can progress to the knockout stage of the tournament. However, Saturday's match offers each side a chance to end their World Cup journey on a high note with a victory.

Venue and Coverage

The match is set to take place at Sandy Park in Exeter, with kick-off scheduled for 14:45 BST. Fans can catch the action live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport online and app, Radio Wales, Radio Cymru, and BBC Sounds.

Social Media Controversy

In related news, Wales' Evans has recently condemned social media abuse over her appearance, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by athletes in the public eye.

Looking Ahead

As Wales prepares to face Fiji without Scoble, the team will be looking to leverage Constable's strengths and rally together to secure a win in their final World Cup match.
