Former Wales hooker Rhys Thomas will join interim head coach Matt Sherratt’s backroom team as a skills coach for the remainder of the 2025 Six Nations.
Thomas, 42, joins on secondment from Gloucester and will return to the Premiership side after Wales’ games against Ireland, Scotland and England.
Cardiff head coach Sherratt was put in charge last week following the departure of head coach Warren Gatland, who had overseen a record run of 14 consecutive Test defeats.
Thomas will have a responsibility for forwards skills alongside forwards coach Jonathan Humphreys and scrum specialist Adam Jones.
“It’s all happened very quickly over the past few days, but I’m excited for the challenge and looking forward to getting stuck in,” said Thomas.
