Rugby365 previews Friday's WXV opener at Cardiff Arms Park, where the Springbok Women face a Wales side that beat them 29-19 at the same venue five years ago. The key selection talking point on the Bok side is Logan Welman moving into the No.8 starting berth, with Aseza Hele dropping to the bench — the only change up front from the side that faced the Black Ferns. Felicia Jacobs slots into scrumhalf with Nadine Roos still recovering from a knee injury. Wales have reshuffled significantly, moving Keira Bevan to flyhalf and handing Amy Williams her first senior cap on the wing. Rugby365 calls it for South Africa by 10.
