Alex Callender has really developed as a leader.

She plays from the front and gives everything in the red shirt.

She's a fantastic player and person as well.

Wales will want to score more points and improve defensively, the big one for me would be improving the number of missed tackles.

The big positive is their discipline, before Sean Lynn came in they gave away a lot more penalties. So that is something that he's worked on.

This is a second meeting between Wales and the Barbarians.

The sides met at Principality Stadium in 2019 when the Baa-Baas won 29-15 thanks to scoring five unanswered tries in the first half.

Wales fought back with Lisa Neumann, Keira Bevan and Alex Callender going over.

Callender will hope to lead Wales to a success today.

We have to remember that when Sean [Lynn] started at Gloucester-Hartpury, they had to wait to see the good results.

He is the best man for the job and he's started to make a positive atmosphere around the team, and those girls want to play for him.

Hopefully we can see them play some good rugby on the pitch today.

Wales are keen to develop more competition for places and that led to Sean Lynn looking at the next generation in his 33-strong squad.

Five uncapped players are in the matchday squad - Amy Williams and Kelsie Webster start and Stella Orrin, Lucy Isaac and Lily Hawkins are on the bench.

"I don't want to be coming into pre-season where an individual has trained really well but we've got no evidence from a game, so that's what the squad is selected on," said Lynn.

"Certain individuals have put their hands up, and that's why we're going to give their reward."

Teenage scrum-half Hawkins only made her Gwalia Lightning debut in February.

Plenty of fans have stuck around for part two of the double-header and they have been sheltering in the shade.

If anything, it feels hotter in the stadium bowl than for the men's game.

This is a completely different challenge for Sean Lynn going from club rugby to international.

But I think he's coached them really well, you have to develop your players from within.

You have to give him and his system time, to bring these young players through.

Wales women head coach Sean Lynn speaking on S4C: "The bits that we've really been working on these last few weeks is what we are going to be doing after half-time, keeping the ball is a big one and scoring more tries.

"It's really about this next generation of players, giving us some evidence of these individuals. The message I've given them is go out there and express why you should be playing for this Welsh side.

"They [the Barbarians] are going to be physical, they are going to throw the ball about, so we have just got to make sure that we can control the offload game as well."

History will be made shortly when Carys Phillips follows in the footsteps of her father Rowland to play for the Barbarians.

Dual-code international Rowland played for the Baa-Baas 23 years ago and now Wales hooker Carys will start at the heart of the front row.

They will be the first father-daughter pair to represent the famous invitational club.

"It's a cool story to share with each other and I hope the family will have a good time when they come to watch," said Carys.

"My dad lets me know now and then that he played for the Baa-Baas and text me to say he thinks we're the first father-daughter.

"He spoke about the enjoyment of playing for the Baa-Baas. He said to have fun with it, get stuck in and make memories."

The Premiership Women's Rugby final takes place just over the road at Twickenham Stoop tomorrow.

A raft of Wales players suffered disappointment when Gloucester-Hartpury lost to Ealing Trailfinders but there is still plenty of interest for Wales boss Sean Lynn.

Tight-head Donna Rose starts for Saracens with lock Georgia Evans on the bench, while Wales centre Carys Cox starts in midfield alongside England captain Meg Jones from Cardiff.

I'm really looking forward to it.

A lot of Wales' leaders are out today but that gives an opportunity to the younger girls to play in a fantastic stadium.

Wales' women take on the Baa-Baas and then have a short break before the WXV Global Series.

Sean Lynn also has a large contingent of players who are rested or unavailable after Premiership Women's Rugby action.

That has afforded the head coach the chance to have a look to the future, with the incentive of earning spots in the squad to face South Africa and USA in Cardiff in September - which is followed by two October Tests in Japan.

Five players are set for their international debuts - Amy Williams and Kelsie Webster start in the backs with Stella Orrin, Lucy Isaac and Lily Hawkins on the bench.

Wales are also lifted by the return of influential back-row forward Alex Callender, who captains the side after recovering from the ankle injury which meant she missed the Six Nations.

Kayleigh Powell gets the chance to put the pressure on Lleucu George after being moved from full-back to fly-half.

Wales women: N Metcalfe; Webster, Keight, De Vera, Williams; Powell, Lockwood; Davies, Reardon, Tuipulotu, B Metcalfe, Aiono, A Joyce, Callender (capt), King.

Replacements: Jones, Baverstock, Orrin, A Pyrs, Isaac, Hawkins, Bevan, Bell.

The Barbarians feature players from nine nations, with Australia flanker Emily Chancellor named as captain.

Wing Ruby Tui, a 2021 World Cup winner with New Zealand, features along with Canada centre Alex Tessier.

There is Welsh interest with Carys Phillips starting at hooker.

Barbarians: Cramet; Tui, Pena, Tessier, Lund; McGovern, Mattinson; Delgado Duenas, Phillips, Belize, P Leitch, Bonar, Rule, Chancellor (capt), Marston-Mulhearn.

Replacements: Tuttosi, B Cleall, Jacob, Buckland-Hurry, Arrighetti, Maxwell, Tuima, Quansah.

The first part of the double-header is done and dusted and now it is time to start looking towards the women's fixture.

This should be a useful exercise for Sean Lynn at the end of a long season.

The head coach has picked a mix of youth and experience as he looks towards the WXV Global Series in September and October.

Wales will also be desperate for a win after last year's World Cup nightmare and then another Six Nations wooden spoon.

Let's have a look at the teams...

The game did not feel like a close game, but out of nowhere, the Barbarians wanted to reclaim the game and used the whole pitch to play their game.

The score looked a little better for the Barbarians than it actually felt, I'd say.

Dan Edwards speaking on S4C: "Yeah it was really warm, that first half was a shock to the system after not playing for six weeks. It was tough.

"It was a hard game to play in but it was fun out there today and I was playing with a smile on my face, which is the main thing.

"We had to focus on ourselves and what we can do, that was the message through the week. There was good stuff out there today and things we need to work on looking ahead to Fiji next week."

George North speaking on S4C: "To be honest I was hoping for three tries! I thought my last game had happened. I had a phone call from Robbie [Deans, Barbarians coach] asking how my body was, he asked me to play and this week has been special.

"I wasn't ready to be honest when I came on. I was thinking just keep hold of the ball, take a deep breath and go.

"Today has been special, especially after a tough season. To get the chance to play today with my sons in the crowd who were so excited to see their dad play again.

"This game has given me everything. It was a childhood dream, I came from a place where you don't get many chances. From the very first game it has been a privilege every time I put the shirt on."

Aaron Wainwright speaking on S4C: 'It was tough and very hot and humid. That was perfect for the conditions for what we will be coming up against in the summer.

"There were some good parts and some things to work on, so that's probably everything we wanted to get out of it.

"We spoke in camp about concentrating on ourselves and making sure we have our processes in place during the game. You never know what the Barbarians are going to throw at you, they'll try something new with an expansive style of play.

"We showed in parts what we can do when we took control of the game, but on the flip side when it got messy there were some areas that we need to tidy up."

There is a weakness in the defence for an international team that trains every day.

You would expect them to be more clinical, and the coaching team will need to focus on this for next week's game against Fiji.
