Wells knew that the initial game against Scotland would probably decide its World Cup luck.
A disappointing 38–8 defeat left a difficult task to qualify for the knockout stages, and on Saturday required a win over the world’s number two ranked side Canada.
Scene Lynn, who took over as the head coach of Wales before six nations this year’s six nations, made seven changes in her initial XV.
The average age of the front roe of Wales was only 20, with Back Rover Branwen Metcaf, 18, also made his Test debut from the bench.
Despite the 42–0 defeat by one of the World Cup favorite, Lynn’s young side showed a lot of green shoots to work with moving forward.
Former Wales captain Philip Tuttit told BBC Rugby Union Weekly, “I am happy that Wales women showed their respect for Jersey and they are ready to make efforts.”
“If you bring Sean Lynn with your coaching, he will be able to move forward with that team.”
However, Wales must first monitor the emerging countries behind them, with Fiji, who are at four places below them in the 14th, an Aceter is likely to offer a difficult final pool game on Saturday.
Spain, at 13th place, suffered a 43–27 defeat by Ireland on Sunday and is showing signs of progress.
Former England captain Maggi Alphoni told BBC Sport, “Let’s put Spain in six countries.”
