Sean Lynn may be “all about the family”, but he has once again proven he is no soft touch when it comes to making big decisions.
During his first campaign he showed he was not afraid to shake things up and warned players to step up or risk World Cup selection.
There was no room for sentiment either when it came to renewing contracts, Ffion Lewis, Carys Williams-Morris, Meg Webb and Niamh Terry were all affectionately shown the door.
No one’s place is safe and in this latest chapter, not even the captain’s.
There was absolutely no doubt Hannah Jones led Wales with pride. The honour of the captaincy was not lost on her, she was the consummate professional on and off the pitch.
Admittedly, she led with actions rather than words, but maybe now is the time for talk.
There are few voices louder than back-rower Alex Callender who would be an obvious choice of successor. The 24-year-old has proven leadership qualities, she was vice-captain during the Six Nations and led Brython Thunder in the Celtic Challenge.
She wears her heart on her sleeve and few work harder than her.
Experienced scrum-half Keira Bevan could also be in with a shout having led Wales a handful of times, while workhorses Georgia Evans and Bethan Lewis would also be popular choices.
