Griffiths has been in post since June and is part of the WRU’s executive team.<\/p>\n
Her current priority for the women’s game is visibility – building the profile of not only the senior team, but also pathways and grassroots rugby. <\/p>\n
She accepts that is not helped by the miserable current form of the the senior side who are without a win in their last nine Test matches and have slumped to an all time low of 13th in the world.<\/p>\n
“We can’t hide from the fact that results matter,” said the former international. <\/p>\n
“The litmus test will be the WXV competition. It gives us a brilliant opportunity to test our progress playing against three sides that are ranked higher than us.”<\/p>\n
Wales open their campaign against South Africa on Friday at Cardiff Arms Park (19:15 BST) and play USA at the same venue eight days later. They then travel to Japan for two Tests in October. <\/p>\n
“[Results] are not going to come overnight, we’re building a house and we have to build those foundations,” Griffiths said, pointing to encouraging results from the under-18s and under-21s sides.<\/p>\n
