Georgia Evans says she and her Wales team-mates are the fittest they have ever been after being pushed to their limits in pre-season.
Head coach Sean Lynn said a lack of strength and conditioning was a concern after Wales finished bottom of the 2025 Women’s Six Nations, his first campaign in charge.
During the summer, Lynn’s players trained in army boot camps and also spent time running up Wales’ largest sand dune in preparation for a two-Test tour of Australia and next month’s Rugby World Cup in England.
“He (Lynn) wasn’t lying when he said he was going to put us in a dark place, he definitely did that,” said back-rower Evans.
“He set us standards before we left for off-season of what he expected when he came back in, so the work didn’t stop, it was about grinding away.”
