The couple are both professionally contracted players with the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) and play their club rugby with Bristol Bears.

They recently signed new two-year deals with the Premiership Women’s Rugby club.

Wing Jasmine is also a three-time Olympian with Great Britain Sevens.

The WRU said Alisha Joyce-Butchers will return to the squad in a controlled manner under its new performance maternity policy.

“On behalf of the Wales women’s squad, the players, coaches and staff, the WRU and everybody in the Welsh rugby family, we send our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to both Alisha and Jaz,” said WRU head of women’s rugby Belinda Moore.

“The WRU offers them our full support, and we look forward to welcoming a new Wales supporter to the family.”
