Gemma Grainger has urged Wales to make history by joining the nation's men on the world stage.

The women's side could secure a place at next summer's World Cup finals in Australia and New Zealand when they face Switzerland in a qualification play-off final in Zurich on Tuesday evening, matching the achievement of Rob Page's men, who ended a 64-year absence from the men's finals in June when they booked a trip to Qatar this winter.
