Nine semi-professional contracts have been awarded to Wales Women internationals, adding to 12 stars who became full-time professionals last week.
Forwards Gwen Crabb, Georgia Evans, Kat Evans, Cerys Hale, Abbie Fleming and Bethan Lewis, along with backs Kerin Lake, Caitlin Lewis and Niamh Terry, will train alongside their full-time colleagues between one and three days a week.
Up to six more players on the "retainer" contracts will be joining the Welsh Rugby Union's performance programme in the coming weeks, with two upcoming training camps acting as a final audition.
