Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025: Lynn ‘proud’ despite Wales exit

Lynn was quick to credit the performance of semi-professional Canada.

“We knew today was going to be a big ask, you look at Canada and just the way they move the ball, they’re an offloading team,” he said.

But at the same time the former Gloucester-Hartpury boss was relatively happy with what he saw from his side.

“I asked for a positive reaction and that’s something we got. Everything we did out there I was very impressed with and we’ve got to move forward with small steps,” he said.

“I’m a proud Welshman and I’m coaching at the World Cup. I’m relishing it and I feel that with this squad of players that we’ve got we can be moving forward very soon.”

With 17 tries in the opening two rounds, Canada have certainly laid down a marker to the likes of England and reigning champions New Zealand.

And after confirming their place in the quarter-finals, Canada are heavily fancied to make the final at Twickenham.

They finish the pool stages against Scotland next weekend, while Wales have a reunion with former head coach Ioan Cunningham and his Fiji side.
