Exciting times ahead for Welsh Rugby! 🏉 Nadine Griffiths, a former Wales international, has been appointed as the Director of Women’s Rugby. With 44 caps and a background in both playing and coaching, she’s ready to take Welsh women’s rugby to new heights. Nadine says this role feels “more like a calling than a job” and aims to inspire the next generation of rugby players. 🌟
A proud Welshwoman, Nadine brings a wealth of experience from her time with Cardiff Rugby and her work as a Community Foundation Director. Her passion for women’s sport and understanding of the challenges faced by clubs make her perfect for the role. Nadine believes that the growth of the women’s game should reflect Wales’ unique identity and culture.
She’s thrilled about the future, especially with the upcoming inaugural women’s British & Irish Lions tour in 2027. Nadine is determined to ensure Welsh representation on this historic tour and create a new generation of female sporting heroes. 🚀
Meanwhile, a controversial move in the rugby world is on the brink of collapse. Roger Randle, the former All Black, was set to join Munster but has faced backlash over a historical accusation from 1997. It’s reported that the appointment has caused significant organisational friction, leading to resignations within Munster’s advisory teams. This uproar leaves Munster searching for a new attack coach. 🤯
In other player news, Joe Jones, who previously played for Cardiff and Scarlets, is heading to Worcester Warriors. The experienced prop will be joining the Champ Rugby side, eager to contribute his skills both in the scrum and the maul. 💪
