Should Lynn need any inspiration, he need not look far across the office.<\/p>\n

Wales men’s head coach Steve Tandy helped his side end a three-year Six Nations losing streak with a final-round victory over Italy last month, while performances in defeat offered plenty of encouragement. <\/p>\n

It is hoped the women can turn a similar corner in their campaign. <\/p>\n

“I’ve worked really closely with Steve Tandy, I’ve been into his camp, it’s an open environment,” said Lynn.<\/p>\n

“That’s what we’re about, supporting each other as a nation.”<\/p>\n

Wales captain Kate Williams said: “We can be inspired by them [Wales men], but we’re not limited to what they’re doing as well. <\/p>\n

“We’re looking internally about what we can do and finding confidence in ourselves to then be able to put out our own performance and write our own story.”<\/p>\n

Inspiration has also been drawn from other Welsh sporting stars, including boxer Lauren Price who retained her world titles in Cardiff last weekend. <\/p>\n

“Something like Saturday night inspired me massively,” Lynn said.<\/p>\n

“We are one Wales and we are such a proud nation, that for me was who we are and what we’re about.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
