The wait goes on for Wales. They will head into the final round of this year’s Women’s Six Nations still searching for their first win under Sean Lynn. The Swansea man might have proved his winning pedigree on the English women’s club scene with his trio of consecutive titles for Gloucester-Hartpury, but international rugby is a whole different ball game.
The execution level and decision-making from both sides remains some way off the lofty standards set by England, but it was Ireland who magnificently lived up to their tag as favourites. Keeping the Red Roses to a solitary score in a gritty first half in Cork last week proved to be a fruitful exercise ahead of this six-try victory.
