Shaun Connor has joined the Wales Women's coaching team

Wales Women’s senior team have appointed Shaun Connor as their new full-time attack and kicking coach ahead of the forthcoming Six Nations campaign.

The former Dragons and Russia coach has moved from his role with the Dragons Rugby Academy and Wales U20s to join Ioan Cunningham’s coaching team.

A former Dragons and Ospreys fly-half, Connor brings a wealth of experience as a professional player and coach to his new role and will continue with the Wales U20s until the end of their current Six Nations campaign.

Connor, who was skills coach at the Dragons and Russia assistant coach at the men’s Rugby World Cup in Japan back in 2019 replaces Richard Whiffin who has taken a role with the Highlanders in New Zealand.

Stephen Myler, the England and Ospreys fly-half, held the kicking coach role with Wales Women on a short-term basis until the recent World Cup in New Zealand.

Wales kick-off their TikTok Six Nations campaign when they face Ireland at Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday, March 25th (Kick-off 14:15)
