LYNN SET TO TAKE ON OLD FOE IN YAPP
Wales on Sunday
|July 13, 2025
SEAN Lynn enjoyed a very healthy rivalry with Jo Yapp when she was in charge of the Worcester Warriors women's team and he was coaching at Gloucester-Hartpury.
But now they are set to clash on the international front for the first time when Lynn takes his Wales squad to Australia for two Tests that will act as a warm-up for both nations ahead of the upcoming Rugby World Cup in England.
Lynn will lead his team down under this week to prepare for the two games on 26 July at Brisbane's Ballymore Stadium and on 1 August at the North Sydney Oval.
It will be Wales' first outing since suffering a Six Nations whitewash in Lynn's first tournament in charge.
Yapp has already picked up two wins in her four games in charge this year - against Fiji and the USA - and will had a warm-up clash with world champions New Zealand this weekend to prepare for the Wales games.
