Let’s pack Arms Park, says Siwan

WALES captain Siwan Lillicrap has called on the Welsh rugby public to head to Cardiff Arms Park this weekend as they try to make it two wins from two in the Women’s Six Nations.

Wales pulled off a dramatic comeback win to beat Ireland 27-19 on Saturday in Dublin in front of 6,000 supporters, and next face Scotland this Saturday (4.45pm).

“We’re only as good as our last game so we’ve got to go out and do it again next week,” the skipper said.

“The wind will be in our sails. “We’ll work hard this week and reflect honestly on what went well and what needs to be tweaked and worked on.

“We want to put a good performance in at Cardiff in front of our home crowd and hopefully get the result again.

“The crowd at RDS was outstanding, there was a lot of Irish support and travelling Welsh support, it was a great rugby match to watch as a spectator.

“We’re hoping for the same type of crowd in Cardiff this week.

“Come and support rugby, Wales rugby, because that’s what it is. It’s a brand of rugby and we’re a national squad and you can really be our 16th person.

“I’m sure Scotland are going to come hard at us but we’re excited to be home, have a home crowd and so far everything we’ve seen about the TikTok Women’s Six Nations has been brilliant and we just want to keep growing it and keep the excitement there throughout the campaign.”

Head coach Ioan Cunningham added: “The girls are really happy, there were happy tears on the field and I’m just really proud to be a part of it.

“You can see what it means to these players.

“They deserve what they got from all the work they put in.

“I think we can grow and build on these performances.

“We made some strides in the autumn and I think we’ve improved again but we want to get better so we’ll analyse this game, look at the detail, always look to improve and obviously put our focus towards the next game which is Scotland.”
