Two new Welsh teams were introduced to the cross-border competition in the 2023/24 season, one being Brython Thunder.
Developed in collaboration with current players, the brands for the two WRU owned franchises are inspired by ‘Brython’, the first Celtic language, and ‘Gwalia’, the original name for Wales, and will kick off the expanded competition in January 2024.
Brython Thunder will wear red and black, be based at Parc y Scarlets and play their home games out of both Parc y Scarlets and Stadiwm CSM in Colwyn Bay.
Former Wales international Ashley Beck has been given the nod to head up the coaching and management team for Brython Thunder.
