Hannah Jones says she considered quitting last yearWRU allegedly threatened pulling out of World Cup
The Wales captain, Hannah Jones, says what the squad went through amid a contract controversy last year was “disgraceful” and made her contemplate international retirement.
Allegations emerged in October that the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) had threatened to withdraw from the 2025 Rugby World Cup if the women’s team did not sign new contracts on offer. Jones says the negotiations last year were difficult “from day one” and that communication with the WRU was a “big issue”, with some of her players “becoming unwell physically and mentally” because of the process.
