Keira Bevan was on the ground and no one was there to play the ball from the back a ruck.

Sisilia Tuipulotu has to play scrum-half... she's the biggest number nine I've ever seen.

To be fair, she can pretty much do everything!

Charli Jacoby has made an immediate impact in holding up the American scrum.

Forgot to mention earlier that Gwenllian Pyrs has also returned from her HIA following that high tackle.

USA have tweaked their pack at half-time with tight-head prop Charli Jacoby and Erica Jarrell both on.

I'm not surprised after the way they were bashed around in the first half.

Freda Tafuna is also back on from the sin bin.

Exactly how the USA would have wanted to come out of the changing rooms, it was some really good carries from the forwards.

Wales were caught a bit cold there perhaps, not quite coming out of the changing rooms.

Wow this is a lightning start by USA who are straight onto the attack.

We're off for the second-half.

It's difficult to catch the ball in this weather and the ball skids on this 3G surface.

Wales are recognising when that USA defence gets narrow and it's smart play.

The USA look rusty with their third interim coach and it does take time to understand different systems and tactics.

Wales don't need to let the game get loose, just remain dominant and lethal inside the USA's 22.

Wales have been really impressive so far.

They have really bossed the forward battle and the front-row has been devastating in the scrum.

USA will be quaking in their boots any time there's a scrum.

Wales' handling has also matched their ambition for such wet conditions, as we saw for that third try.

The one area for concern is the lineout. Against the top sides next month at WXV, they can't afford to let those opportunities go.

I think the coaches will be very happy with that half, the set piece and scrum have been fantastic and we're turning over USA's ball.

Carys Cox has had her hands on the ball and Alex Callendar is always fantastic in stealing the ball and running those lines to slice the opposition defence open.

I'm not surprised at all that Alisha Butchers scored Wales' first try on her return. She's a leader both on and off the pitch and it's great to see her involved in the game immediately after injury.

One player we thought would be here today but isn't is wing Lowri Norkett who this week decided to retire from professional rugby and has withdrawn from Wales' squad for WXV1 in New Zealand.

Norkett, 28, said she had made the "difficult decision" having achieved her aim of honouring her late sister Elli's legacy.

Elli died in a car accident at the age of 20 in 2017, having won four Wales caps.

The elder of the two sisters, Lowri went on to win five caps.

"My motivation to play rugby for Wales was always about paying tribute to my little sister, Elli, and leaving a legacy to her and her memory in the famous red shirt," said Norkett.

"I cannot deny this has been a very difficult decision for me.

"There have been ups and downs and highs and lows but my abiding memory will be of the people here who shared my journey and helped me honour Elli.

"I feel I have done that. It wasn't easy and was hard work, nothing is ever easy as an elite athlete, but I am satisfied that I did what I set out to do."

Norkett also represented Wales at netball and rugby league... what an athlete.

I've been really impressed with the set-piece and scrum dominance but also the game management of the conditions and territory.

USA have struggled to put three or four phases together but Wales' handling has been good and they've looked to play expansively despite the conditions.

It's not the day or the weather to be creative in your lineout menu but the close quarters stuff is really paying off for Wales in that first half and long may it continue in the second.

Wales kick the ball out and will be delighted with that first half.

Jasmine Joyce did so well then.

She juggled the ball to get under control before, fended off her opponent and the timed her pass to release Neumann.

Class!

It's a great team try that, some lovely touches from Carys Cox on debut beating players in that five metre channel.

Alex Calendar making clean linebreaks, finding the weak points in the USA defence, she's a really clever rugby player.

I know the conditions aren't ideal but had the weather been better we'd have seen the ball spread wider.

This game has really opened up which I didn't see coming given the rain.

It's scrappy, but entertaining.

Robyn Wilkins pings across a great cross-field kick for Cox who is tackled in the process of catching the ball.

Great skills in these conditions.

Carys Cox gets her first run... she's got some pace!

Wales on the front foot and making yards.
