Wales, in contrast, made only minor changes, bringing in Gwenllian Pyrs and Gwen Crabb as new head coach Sean Lynn looked for consistency in just his second game in charge.

Former Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb suggested a refresh might be needed before the next Senedd election.

Stephen Crabb warned that the 2026 vote would be "tough" for the party, and that it "probably" needed a leadership "refresh".

"If the party needs to change in order to survive, it's harder to do that when you always have the same personalities in place," said Crabb, who was in the cabinet as Welsh secretary and also work and pensions secretary.

The Senedd Tory leader refuted Crabb's comments, saying he was "up for the fight in 2026".
