Bringing her wealth of experience and expertise Liza will provide valuable assistance and direction to the Futures Programme in its aim of mentoring and nurturing potential future Wales internationals through development programmes and specialist guidance.
WRU General manager for Women and Girls, Charlotte Wathan said, “The specialised expertise, unique wealth of experience and advice Liza Burgess will bring to the Futures Programme will be a huge boost to the development of the next tranche of players coming through the pathway from the Regional U18 programme to the senior performance programme and we also hope to attract new players to rugby from other sports through the Talent ID days.”
The first Talent ID Day will take place at the National Centre of Excellence on Thursday 9 April. All female athletes aged 16 and over keen to give rugby a try are urged to come along.
