T Rhys Thomas Joins Wales Coaching Staff for Six Nations

Former Wales international T. Rhys Thomas has joined the coaching staff of the national rugby team for the remainder of the 2025 Guinness Six Nations as a skills coach, specifically focusing on forwards' skills. Thomas, who has 27 caps for Wales and played for clubs like Cardiff and Gloucester, will work under interim head coach Matt Sherratt, who took over after Warren Gatland's departure amid a record run of 14 consecutive Test defeats. The coaching team also includes scrum consultant Adam Jones, who is on secondment from Harlequins. Thomas expressed excitement about the opportunity and gratitude to Gloucester for allowing him to join. Wales is set to face Ireland in their next match, aiming to improve their performance in the tournament. The appointment of Thomas is part of a broader effort to revitalize the team's coaching structure during this challenging period.
