Georgia Evans says she has fire in her belly after missing out on the 2022 Women's Six Nations through injury.
The Wales lock dislocated her wrist and snapped her radius and ulnar in a Premier 15s match ahead of last year's tournament.
Evans has started all four of Wales' 2023 tournament games so far, and is among the tournament's most dominant tacklers, as well as scoring a try in the 39-14 defeat by France.
Despite the defeats against higher ranked sides England and France, Evans says she is proud of the way the pack have challenged.

It's going to be an emotional day for Wales veteran Caryl Thomas who is calling time on her 17-year Test career.
The 37-year-old prop's career comes full circle and she prepares to bow out against the same opposition against whom she made her debut all the way back in 2006.
She returns to the match-day squad among the replacements after her wife gave birth to a daughter earlier this month.
"One thing we want to celebrate is Caryl Thomas who is going to retire at the end of the Six Nations," said head coach Ioan Cunningham.
"What she has given over the last 17 years and 64 caps is unbelievable and what a period to be in the Welsh jersey.
"The girls and everybody is so pleased she is around us and she deserves it because she has given so much to the shirt.
"I am delighted she gets this chance in the last game of the Six Nations."

Wales head coach Ioan Cunningham has reverted to the side which flew out of the blocks at the start of the campaign, securing bonus-point wins over Ireland and Scotland.
Lleucu George's inclusion at centre is the only change from that XV, with Kerin Lake coming back from a calf injury.
The front row of Sisilia Tuipulotu, Kelsey Jones and Gwenllian Pyrs is restored, while another standout player of the tournament, Alex Callender, is back at flanker.
Keira Bevan gets the nod at scrum-half, while wing Amelia Tutt is set to win her first cap from the bench.
The game will also see the conclusion of the stellar career of Wales prop Caryl Thomas after 17 years' service.
Thomas is set for a 65th - and last - appearance from the bench.

So having just seen England wrap up another title in emphatic style against France, there is still plenty to play for on this final weekend of the 2023 Women's Six Nations.
Wales and Scotland can both finish third while Ireland and Italy are trying to avoid the wooden spoon.
Here in Parma in northern Italy, Wales know a single bonus point would be enough to match last season's third place.
That is even more important this year with the top three qualifying for the top tier of the new global WXV tournament.
A big win at Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi could also see Wales climb to their highest position - sixth - in the world rankings.
However Italy are ranked two places higher than Wales, who have not tasted victory over the Azzurre in the Six Nations since 2017.
So, first of all, let's have a look at the teams...
