Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025: Wales ‘in a better place’ – Lynn

“It Is tough, everybody wants to make sure that we’re getting results, but I’m in it and I’ve said to the players that we’re all going to be standing together.

“There are some tough times, but we are in a much better place than we were after Italy with the character and the individuals, there was much improvement.

“But we’ve got a long way to go from where I want us to be.”

The players will have a week off now before heading back to camp for their World Cup review and then onto their clubs, mostly in the Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) for the start of the new league season.

Former Gloucester-Hartpury boss Lynn says how his players are managed in England’s top tier will be pivotal to any Welsh success going forwards.

“They need to be playing,” he said.

“You can look at it and say ‘all these players are playing in the PWR and are part of PWR programmes’, but how many of those are playing in under pressure matches, or are they just in the squad? That’s something we need to be looking at.”
