Pembrokeshire College’s WRU Hub Officer and renowned rugby coach, Aled Waters, has recently returned from an exciting series of coaching stints in Germany and Austria, where he worked with top youth and national teams as part of ongoing international rugby collaborations.
In Germany, Aled’s coaching efforts were focused on a partnership between the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) and Rugby Deutschland, working with the Under-16s National 7s Squad. As part of this unique link, Aled provided high-performance coaching designed to develop the young squad's skills in the fast-paced 7s format, preparing them for future international competitions.
After his time in Germany, Aled travelled to Austria, where he played a pivotal role in preparing the Austrian National Rugby Team for their participation in the upcoming Rugby Europe Competition, taking place over three consecutive weekends. His expertise helped ready the team for their first test, culminating in a thrilling match against Hungary.
Speaking about his international experience, Aled commented: "It's been an incredible opportunity to help nurture rugby talent in both Germany and Austria. The players' dedication and commitment are impressive, and I'm excited to see how they perform in upcoming tournaments."
Looking ahead, Aled’s coaching journey is far from over. In November, he will be heading to Italy to continue his international coaching work, helping teams prepare for further competition within the Rugby Europe framework.
