Wales switch ‘non-negotiable’ for new cap ProtheroImage source, Huw Evans Picture AgencyImage caption, Nikita Prothero represented England at age-grade levelByCeri Coleman-PhillipsBBC Sport WalesPublished38 minutes agoWales’ newest cap Nikita Prothero admits to being an introvert with a slight tattoo addiction.Of the 25 inked on her body, the England-born utility back proudly points to the one across her forearm which bears the Welsh word “hiraeth”.
