A more fitting farewell for Sean Lynn there could not have been. On Monday, the understated Gloucester-Hartpury head coach will start his role as Wales boss in earnest with a Women’s Six Nations around the corner, just reward for a man who has turned this club into the ruling class of Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR).
A 34-19 win over Saracens and the three-peat was complete with another champion performance, Lynn sent off in style with a showing of which he could be proud. Saracens had been this league’s dominant force in its first era but how times have changed, a new dynasty forged. Their tally of three titles has been tied; their record streak of successes surpassed.
