Wales slipped to defeat against Ireland in Sunday's warm-up match for the 2018 Women's Six Nations.

Rowland Phillips' side held a 19-17 half-time advantage at Ystrad Mynach.

Ireland had led 12-0 but Carys Phillips started the Wales revival before Jessica Kavanagh-Williams claimed two tries, the second from halfway.

But Wales, who begin the Six Nations at home to Scotland in Colwyn Bay on Friday, 9 February, were kept scoreless after the break as Ireland dominated.

Uncapped Ireland winger Megan Williams scored a try while Claire McLaughlin, Alison Miller, Leah Lyons and Sene Naoupu also touched down for the visitors.
