To play for Wales is one thing, to captain Wales is another.
Whether a player has captained Wales 18 times, like current men’s record holder Jim Sullivan, or just the once like a number have done, it’s a great honour to lead the team out and stand in the centre for the photographs or coin toss.
Since the Wales Wheelchair side started in 2012, there have been five captains and three head coaches…
