BEVAN WANTS TO BUILD MOMENTUM
Manchester Evening News
|August 20, 2025

-
Scrumhalf Bevan kicked an 84th-minute penalty to give Wales a memorable 18-15 victory over Scotland when the two nations met in their tournament opener in New Zealand three years ago.
Saturday's game at the Salford Community Stadium appears just as important as that 2022 meeting, with world-ranked number two Canada overwhelming favourites to win Pool B and only two quarterfinal places up for grabs.
