If Sean Lynn is to restore the feel-good factor to Welsh rugby with his winning pedigree, it will clearly take time. His tenure began with an opening round Women’s Six Nations defeat by a well-oiled Scotland side who were slicker in greasy conditions, but on this evidence there are greater days to come.
Wales looked like a side who had spent six days together and with so many of their personnel being involved in last week’s Premiership Women’s Rugby final, the short turnaround told. Their high-energy performance was reflective of the life Lynn has already breathed into this side, even if they could not get over the finish line.
