Women’s Six Nations: Rome wasn’t built in a day, but Sean Lynn proud of Wales’ fight

Wales have now lost three successive games to their Celtic rivals, with indiscipline proving costly along with missed tackles and handling errors.

Number eight Georgia Evans was shown two yellow cards, one for illegally collapsing a maul and another for a high tackle having not long returned to the field.

“I went up to Georgia Evans at the end, gave her a massive hug and just said ‘these things happen and move on,'” said Lynn.

But he was quick to point out the positives, including first senor starts for front rowers Maisie Davies and Jenni Scoble and second row Alaw Pyrs who did not look out of place after stepping up from the Celtic Challenge.

There was also a welcome return to action from the replacements bench for long-term injured Kelsey Jones along with Donna Rose and try-scorer Pyrs.

“That’s when you talk about pride in the family,” said Lynn.

“We will turn every negative into a positive and we’ll grow and grow and grow.

“It’s a big learning curve for us and I was super impressed how we made it one that we let get away.

“There’s things we need to be working on, but Rome wasn’t built in a day.”
