Siwan Lillicrap

First played rugby for Waunarlwydd Senior Women aged 17 having waited patiently for a number of years on the sidelines until she was old enough.

It was a similar story at senior international level, her first cap coming aged 28 against Ireland in the 2016 Six Nations at Donnybrook having been on the fringes of squads for a period of time.

Having reached that milestone, Lillicrap has held on to the Wales jersey, hardly missing a game since and has be captain since the autumn of 2019.
