Hannah Jones will captain Wales during the 2025 Guinness Women's Six Nations campaign, with Keira Bevan and Alex Callender who have been named as vice captains.
Centre, Jones has been capped by Wales on 60 occasions and has been Wales' captain since being appointed for the 2023 Championship. Like new head coach Sean Lynch, Jones has won back-to-back league titles with Gloucester-Hartpury and she made her debut back in 2015 against Scotland.

Wales begin their 2025 Championship with an away trip to the DAM Health Stadium to face Scotland before a week later hosting England at Principality Stadium. Jones' side will then travel to Brive to face France and in round 4 they will host Ireland at Rodney Parade on Easter Sunday.
They will then conclude their Six Nations in Parma where they face Italy on April 26th before turning their attention to the 2025 Rugby World Cup.
Speaking on being appointed as Wales captain, Jones said: "Being Wales captain is always a privilege and is an honour you never take for granted.
This is an exciting new chapter with the team, and we are looking forward to the 2025 season, with a Six Nations and a World Cup on the horizon.
"I obviously know Sean well and have worked with him at Gloucester and he drives standards, on and off the pitch, and is a winner and a great coach. It's a genuinely exciting time for all of us and having Keira and Al Cal as vice-captains will help grow the voices and leadership in the squad."
Sean Lynn, Wales Head coach, added: "Hannah is a player and person I know well from our shared time at club level. I know how much being Wales captain means to her, and she is somebody who wants to win and has been a mainstay at centre for club and country.
"I know how important leadership is to every side and have worked with three national captains and they all set the standards and drive the team culture. The Wales team culture will be a family one where we all care for each other, but we will challenge each other.
"Having coached against Keira and Al Cal I know the leadership they offer on the field and look forward to working with them and seeing them develop the undoubted leadership skills they already have."
