Georgia Evans made her Six Nations debut for Wales in 2020.

Wales lock Georgia Evans has had surgery after suffering a serious injury during Saracens' Premier 15s game against Bristol Bears.

Evans could be heard screaming in pain just four minutes into the game.

The 25-year-old faces a lengthy spell out following an operation on her forearm after suffering a dislocated wrist and snapped radius and ulnar.

"It's the biggest challenge ahead and my time is focused solely on returning to the field," she said.

"I honestly don't think I've fully processed how or what happened and what the next few months look like yet.

"I've been fortunate enough for the eight years I've been playing to escape many injuries from the places I put my head, and lucky enough to not experience time without rugby."

Wales' Six Nations campaign starts away to Ireland on Saturday, 25 March with the World Cup starting in New Zealand in October.
