De Vera was a late call-up to Saturday’s matchday squad after the withdrawal of Carys Cox, so there was little time for nerves.<\/p>\n
“Being in Cardiff Arms, knowing that my family’s there, knowing that my friends are there, I would be doing a real disservice to myself if I put too much pressure and not enjoy it,” she said.<\/p>\n
“The spectacle of the first cap was probably something that I needed to remind myself, it was a real achievement and I’m really grateful to be given that opportunity.”<\/p>\n
De Vera is hopeful of being involved again on Saturday when Wales travel to Ashton Gate to take on world champions England. <\/p>\n
“To be trusted with that opportunity on Saturday, to really go for it, has given me a lot of confidence,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I’m so excited because although the score didn’t reflect, it was a harsh score, I feel that we are on an upwards trajectory together as seniors, Under-20s and 18s.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
