Women’s pro teams in Wales ‘a symbol of positivity’ – national coach Lynn

While the Welsh Rugby Union’s plans to halve the number of regions have divided opinion, its vision for the women’s game has been met with an air of optimism.

The governing body wants to move forward with just two professional men’s teams, saying the current model of Scarlets, Ospreys, Cardiff and Dragons is unsustainable.

As part of the reform, the two remaining teams would have professional women’s sides.

Each would have a squad of around 40 home-grown players with the Union pledging “significant investment”.

The plans are currently out for consultation.

Wales women’s head coach Sean Lynn has welcomed the proposals.

Speaking from the Rugby World Cup, he said: “It’s a symbol of positivity in the women’s game, I think it’s only going to benefit us.”

Lynn would not be drawn on where he would prefer the two women’s sides to play.
