Welsh Rugby Players Pyrs and Cox Undergo Surgery Following WXV2 Injuries

Gwenllian Pyrs and Carys Cox, both regular starters for Wales, have undergone surgical procedures to address injuries sustained during the WXV2 tournament in October. Pyrs, a prop for Sale Sharks, incurred a neck injury during her time in South Africa. Concurrently, Cox, who plays as a centre and wing for Trailfinders, sustained a shoulder injury. Both athletes participated in all three WXV2 matches held in Cape Town, where Wales recorded losses against Australia and Italy before securing a victory over Japan. The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) will supervise the rehabilitation process for Pyrs and Cox. A spokesperson for the governing body anticipates their readiness to compete in the 2025 Women’s Six Nations.
