Sean Lynn Named Head Coach of Wales Women's Rugby Team

The Welshman, known for leading Gloucester-Hartpury to consecutive titles, takes on the role ahead of a pivotal year for women's rugby.

Sean Lynn has signed a three-year contract as the new head coach of the Wales women's rugby team, replacing Ioan Cunningham, who stepped down in November 2024.
Lynn previously led Gloucester-Hartpury to back-to-back Premiership Women's Rugby titles in 2023 and 2024 and will continue with the club until the end of the current season.
The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) has faced criticism over its handling of player contracts, leading to leadership changes, including the resignation of its executive director of rugby in December.
Wales will begin their Six Nations campaign against Scotland on March 22, followed by their participation in the England-hosted Rugby World Cup later this year.
Lynn expressed his pride in returning to Wales, emphasizing the potential of the team and the importance of preparing for what he described as the biggest year in women's rugby history.
