Snowsill welcomed the WRU’s extra funding for its two Celtic Challenge teams Brython Thunder and Gwalia Lightning.

It will allow for dual contracts, additional coaching staff and resources – all with the aim of attracting Welsh talent back to Wales.

“We 100% have to be bringing players back if they’re not making the team sheet or playing a significant amount of rugby [in England’s Premiership Women’s Rugby]”, she said.

But Snowsill believes it has to be a competitive package or players will remain in England, even if they are not making matchday squads.

“We’ve worked hard to develop our talent, the challenge now with this new funding is to make sure that we make it as attractive as possible to stay in Wales and be part of the journey,” she said.

“It’s not going to happen overnight.

“But I genuinely believe in the next World Cup cycle – and the one after that – that Wales are going places.”

As well as extra money into the Celtic Challenge, the WRU also proposes a new four-club league, with teams competing against each other in a league format.
