Meet Hannah Jones, Wales' new Six Nations captain who counts legend and fellow Amman Valley native Shane Williams among her supporters and is eating as much as ice cream as she can get her hands on to boost her physicality.
Jones, 26, has lived and breathed the sport since first picking up a rugby ball aged six at primary school in Brynamman, Carmarthenshire, before joining a mixed team at Crynant. She even got engaged to partner and Llandovery RFC player Dino Dallavalle on a rugby pitch just minutes after a Wales match ended.
Now one of the most experienced players in Wales' squad, with 43 caps, Jones has been handed the honour of leading her side into the Women's Six Nations as squad captain as they begin a new era firmly geared towards excelling at the 2025 World Cup. Resuming the role she held on matchdays during the 2022 World Cup in New Zealand, this is the first time she has been named skipper from the outset of a campaign.
