Jones retains Wales captaincy under new coach Lynn

Under new head coach Sean Lynn, Hannah Jones retains the position of Wales captain.

Since the Women’s Six Nations in 2023, the 60-cap center has led Wales, and he will lead the way in the future for both the championship and the Rugby World Cup in England later this year.

As Lynn tries to grow his leadership team, scrum-half Keira Bevan and flanker Alex Callender have been appointed vice-captains.

“Being Wales captain is always a privilege and an honour you never take for granted”, said Jones, who plays under Lynn at Gloucester-Hartpury.

Lynn was appointed Ioan Cunningham’s successor in January.

He will link up with the Wales squad full time after completing the Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) season with Gloucester-Hartpury, who are chasing a third successive title.

“I know how much being Wales captain means to Hannah”, said Lynn

She has always been a mainstay at the club and country, and she wants to win.

I’ve worked with three national captains, and they all set the standard and foster the team culture. I am aware of how crucial leadership is for every side.

“We will all care for each other, but we will challenge each other,” says the Wales team culture.
