    Women’s Six Nations: Wales face uphill task after opening round defeat

    Lynn admitted to having selection headaches for Scotland, and after the weekend he has been given even more to think about.

    With Wales’ kicking game so ineffective and France’s backline so dangerous, Lynn may consider moving Kayleigh Powell to 10, a player who likes to keep ball in hand, and starting Seren Lockwood ahead of Keira Bevan at scrum-half.

    Powell showed in the World Cup game against Fiji she is more than capable of operating at fly-half, while Lockwood made her case for selection off the bench.

    And while France have been a super power in women’s rugby, there may not be a better time to play them, as they like – many other teams at the start of a new World Cup cycle – are going through a rebuild.

    They only scored one try in the first half against Italy, but ran in five after the break, looking more like the free-flowing side of old.

    The game will be played at Cardiff Arms Park after a relatively poor showing next door at Principality Stadium.

    Saturday’s gate was 10,569, a drop in the ocean compared to the 77,120 at Allianz Stadium for England’s opener against Ireland.

    But Lynn and the players are hopeful they can get a good following as they go in search of a first Six Nations win in over two years.

    It is a tough ask, but defeat could see Wales staring down the barrel of a third consecutive Wooden Spoon heading into the final game.

    Fortunately for Lynn and his squad, there is a lot of rugby to be played until then.
