🔔 Exciting news in the world of rugby! Steven Shingler, the ex-Scarlets and Cardiff star, has swiftly stepped into his new role as assistant coach for Scotland Women. 🚀
Just two months shy of the Rugby World Cup, Shingler was called up to join the Scottish coaching team, and he’s already making waves. The former Wales U20s international was on holiday when he received a call that changed his plans. 📞
In a whirlwind decision, he joined the team and led Scotland to a stunning victory against Wales, kicking off their World Cup campaign with an impressive 38-8 win. 🏆 Shingler couldn’t be prouder of the girls’ display, which was defined by precision and teamwork.
Working alongside head coach Bryan Easson and Defence Coach Tyrone Holmes, Shingler focused on a collaborative coaching style, and it’s clear the players have responded brilliantly. His approach is all about conversation and back-and-forth with the players, ensuring everyone is on the same page.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there! Shingler is now set to face a familiar opponent, Ioan Cunningham’s Fiji. Having been coached by Cunningham during his playing days at Scarlets, Shingler knows what to expect and has his sights set on securing a spot in the knockout stages.
The squad is buzzing with confidence after their performance, with Shingler aspiring to achieve perfection in upcoming matches. He acknowledges opportunities for improvement but is thrilled with the team’s moment of brilliance on the field. 🌟
