Megan Davey, 26, Rejoins Wales Rugby Squad
After considering a career change to teaching, Davey is back in the Wales squad for the WXV Global Series, facing South Africa, USA, and Japan
Megan Davey, a 26-year-old rugby player, has reignited her international ambitions with Wales after being named in the 39-strong squad for the WXV Global Series. Davey, who has won 8 caps for Wales, had previously considered a career change to full-time teaching after being omitted from the 2026 Six Nations squad and Sean Lynn's extended training squad for the WXV Global Series.
Davey's international career began at the age of 19 in 2021, and she qualifies for Wales through her grandfather from Llanelli. Despite being a latecomer to the squad, Davey has been welcomed by her teammates and is looking forward to competing against South Africa, USA, and Japan.
The Wales squad, which includes Davey, will face South Africa in their opening match at Cardiff Arms Park on Friday, 18 September, at 19:15 BST. Davey will be competing for a spot in the team, primarily training at scrum-half, where she faces competition from Keira Bevan and Seren Lockwood.
## Why it matters Davey's return to the Wales squad is a significant development for the team, which is looking to make an impact in the WXV Global Series. With her experience and skills, Davey can make a valuable contribution to the team. Her story is also an inspiration to young players, showing that with determination and hard work, it's possible to achieve your goals and overcome setbacks.
The WXV Global Series is an important tournament for Wales, and the team will be looking to perform well against tough opponents like South Africa, USA, and Japan. With Davey back in the squad, Wales has a stronger team and a better chance of success in the tournament.
