There was a Wales rugby debut to celebrate during the thumping 31-5 Welsh win over Ireland in their Women's Six Nations opener - for Swansea-born, New Zealand-raised naval officer Kate Williams.
The 22-year-old flanker came off the bench to make her debut in front of a record crowd at Cardiff Arms Park, enjoying 22 minutes of international rugby having trained with Wales in pre-season and linked up with them in New Zealand last autumn during the World Cup.
It was made all the more special by the fact her dad Gareth had flown in from Auckland earlier this week to surprise his daughter. The duo enjoyed an emotional embrace on the pitch after Wales head coach Ioan Cunningham presented Williams with her Wales cap.
