HEAD COACH Rhian Wilkinson has warned defending champions England not to write off Wales after the sides were pitched into a Battle of Britain at Euro 2025.
The Welsh, playing at a major tournament for the first time, were handed tough Group D ties against the Lionesses, France and the Netherlands in Monday evening’s draw in Lausanne.
At 30, they will be the lowest-ranked team at the finals and will face three opponents inside Fifa’s current top 11, although Canadian coach Wilkinson’s reaction was bullish.
