Women’s Six Nations: Wales v Italy – Hosts aim to avoid unwanted history

Lynn said he was “a super proud guy” and nobody wants to be winning more than him.

“I was really upset with the England score. Everybody was saying this is first time we’ve scored four tries, but I was hurt. I do not want to be losing games, I do not want to be losing and not performing going out to Ireland,” he said.

Lynn added that his success at Gloucester-Hartpury – where he won three consecutive Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) – did not come overnight.

“It does take time, but I completely get the frustration from the external,” he said.

“Gloucester Hartpury’s success came from hard work, it didn’t just come. It wasn’t Sean Lynn came on board and those results came, there were two years of hard graft before that.”

As to when Wales could expect to see results, Lynn says “I’m not putting any timeline on it”.

“All I’m saying is, we need to be moving the dial, but other teams are moving that dial as well, so we’ve got to make sure we’re moving it faster.”
