Tommy Reffell
Cap No 1178
A captain of Wales Under 18s and Under 20s, flanker Tommy Reffell earned promotion to the senior squad at Leicester Tigers in 2019/20.
From Pencoed, Reffell’s leadership abilities were spotted early as captain of Ospreys East Under-16s and in his progress through the academy ranks at Tigers.
He made his senior debut for the club in an Anglo-Welsh Cup defeat at Bath in November 2017 then led Wales in the Under 20 Six Nations and throughout the World Junior Championships in 2018 despite being in his first year at that age group.
After six senior appearances for Tigers in 2018/19, Reffell played every minute of a second World Championships with Wales in Argentina in the summer – including the 8-7 victory over New Zealand in a Wales side which also included Dewi Lake and Jac Morgan in the pack. Along with Reffell, who went on to earn full international honours under Wayne Pivac.
