This is a list of the complete squads for the 2012 Six Nations Championship, an annual rugby union tournament contested by the national rugby teams of England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales.Each country is entitled to name a squad of 39 players to contest the championship. The squad will be cut to 24 before going to Paris for the opener against France.Andy Robinson announced Scotland's 36-man squad for the Six Nations on 5 January.On 24 January, Ross Ford was named captain for the Six Nations.Warren Gatland named a 35-man squad for the 2012 Six Nations on 18 January. Moreover, five of them have played for Wales over the past year, and ten of them have played since 2017.The same core group of players has meant that there has not been a huge lull in Welsh rugby. He finished his career with 129 caps for Wales and five for the Lions.He played over 200 games for Cardiff as well, with a year in the south of France with Toulon sandwiched in the middle.Hooker Matthew Rees would go on to play for two more years in a Welsh jersey after 2012, but faced his biggest battle off the field after being diagnosed with cancer in 2013.Rees recovered and returned to playing, earning two more Wales caps in 2014 and continuing to play for Cardiff until he retired at the end of last season at the age of 38, with 60 Welsh caps to his name and three for the Part of the front row alongside Gethin Jenkins in the 2005, 2008 and the 2012 Grand Slams, Adam Jones was a pillar of the Welsh pack for the first part of last decade.The scrum master’s 100-cap Test career ended in 2014, as did his long association with the Ospreys, but he had a year with Cardiff before a move to Still going strong, and now only one behind Richie McCaw’s record of 148 caps, Alun Wyn Jones’ influence on Wales has only grown since 2012.The talismanic lock led Wales to the Grand Slam in 2019, and has now been described by some as the greatest Welsh player of all time.One of the favourites to lead the Lions in Although Ian Evans did not amass the same number of caps across his eight-year Test career as the other players in this XV, he won a lot in his 33 caps.A Grand Slam winner in 2008 as well, the lock added a further Championship in 2013, before being part of the large Welsh cohort that travelled to He earned his last cap in 2014, shortly before a move to The player of the tournament in 2012 and colossus in defence for Wales, The blindside flanker was a regular for Wales from 2010 to 2016, even being named captain under Gatland, but has only managed to play four matches for his country since 2017, the last of which was in November 2018.The 32-year-old has suffered from knee, shoulder and bicep injuries to name a few, but has remained fit this season after missing the majority of the year before, and recently signed a new deal with the Ospreys.Flanker Sam Warburton was the youngest player to ever captain a RWC side in 2011, and became Gatland’s leader for the coming years, guiding Wales to the 2012 and 2013 titles, as well as the Lions to a series win in Australia and a draw in New Zealand.However, much like Lydiate, he spent far too long on the sidelines, and the harrowing list of injuries he had endured throughout his career finally took its toll in 2018 when he announced his retirement at the age of 29.It was ultimately a neck injury that he struggled to return from, but that may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back for Warburton. A year on from their 2019 Six Nations Grand Slam, Wales could be a totally different beast with the replacement of Warren Gatland with Wayne Pivac.. Like England, they too will be looking to get over World Cup disappointment after they lost narrowly to South Africa in the semi-finals. Wales entered the 2012 Six Nations in high spirits, after a young squad of players came fourth in the They showed no signs of a post-RWC hangover, securing their second Grand Slam of the Warren Gatland era, and second in four years, by beating The team that beat France at the Millenium Stadium that March had many faces that are still at the forefront of the international game today, as well as some that have now moved on.This was a group that would win another title a year later, with some players that have cemented their names a Welsh legends, so here are the players now:Winning his 32nd cap against France in 2012, The 29-year-old now plays for Exeter Chiefs, having made the move from Cardiff in 2018.Another figure that is still a major feature of the Welsh team, and was surely one of Gatland’s first names on the team sheet, Davies has also enjoyed a spell in France, with ASM Has been absent this season with a knee injury sustained in the RWC, but will undoubtedly be back in the red of Wales next season.Another titan of this Welsh back line, The 33-year-old is still going strong though, and has tried his hand at Now sitting on 98 Test caps and 42 tries (95 caps and 40 tries for Wales), Having only made his first Wales start in the August of 2011, But after missing the 2013 Six Nations through injury, Priestland struggled to gain his starting berth back.
