Women’s Six Nations: Wales’ campaign ‘not all about results’

Former Wales vice-captain Gemma Hallett said it was disappointing the Scotland game could not be played as it “would have showed us where we really stand.”
She questioned why “big players are not playing”, alluding to her former team mates Harries and Phillips.
“There is a consistency of dropping experienced girls,” she said, “there needs to be an environment that nurtures players and leans into experience, not fear and feel challenged by it.
“There’s a drop off between Siwan and the next leaders on the pitch. You’ve got Kerin Lake and Keira Bevan who are great players that she can lean on, but outside of that there’s no leadership across the team.”
Hallett is concerned about a lack of experience and game time for the current squad members ahead of the World Cup.
“One of the players doesn’t even play for a club, another plays for a university side and was starting against the French team,” she said.
“You’re asking a hell of a lot for girls to go out there and put their bodies on the line. It’s David v Goliath stuff.
“We’ve got a World Cup next year and I can’t see many of those girls really enjoying the journey.”
Hallett has also spoken out of how she feels the WRU manages the senior women’s game.
