Wales make new coaching appointment weeks out from Women's Six Nations kick-off

Former Ospreys and Dragons fly-half Shaun Connor has joined Wales Women's coaching staff as their new attack and kicking coach.

The ex-Dragons and Russia coach joins Wales head coach Ioan Cunningham's backroom staff on a full-time basis to replace Richard Whiffin, who left the programme to lead the Highlanders' attack in New Zealand. Ospreys and England fly-half Stephen Myler also held the kicking coach role on a short-term basis in the months leading up to last autumn's women's Rugby World Cup, which Wales exited at the quarter-finals stage to eventual winners New Zealand.

Twenty-five full-time Wales Women playing contracts were announced on Friday, ahead of their TikTok Women's Six Nations campaign kicking off on Saturday, March 25, at home to Ireland at Cardiff Arms Park.
