Co-captain Kate Williams believes boss Sean Lynn is the perfect fit to turn around Wales’ fortunes after their Women’s Rugby World Cup nightmare.
The semi-finals of the tournament took place this weekend but Wales endured a group-stage exit after a costly opening defeat by Scotland, a heavy loss by Canada and a shock upset at the hands of Fiji.
Lynn took over as national boss in January after leading Gloucester-Hartpury to three successive Premiership Women’s Rugby titles.
He has won one of 10 Tests – July’s stunning triumph against Australia in Brisbane – but Williams is confident her old club boss can turn around Wales’ fortunes.
“Sean is an amazing coach and his biggest driver for us is that he believes in us as players and believes in us as a team,” said the back-row forward.
“That’s so important for us to move forward, to take the learnings we have from this year and believe we can do this.
“The way that he sees the game really suits us as a team with the way that we want to attack and defend. Once we get better at doing that together we will see improvement next year.”
