Dwayne Peel Bio

Dwayne Peel was a legend of Welsh rugby who was also one of the country’s most-capped scrum-halves. He’s currently a coach for the Cardiff Blues.

Born 31 August 1981, Dwayne Peel joined Tumble RFC at under-8s level. After an impressive junior career, he then began his professional career in 2000, when he joined Llanelli. In 2003, when the structure of Welsh rugby changed, he then joined the Llanelli Scarlets region, where he stayed until 2008.

Following almost a decade in Welsh professional rugby, Dwayne Peel left the Scarlets in 2008 and joined Sale Sharks. Between then and 2014, he made 123 appearances for the side. Following this, he joined Bristol, where he stayed until his retirement in 2016.

Although he enjoyed a distinguished career at the domestic level in England and Wales, Dwayne Peel is best known for his appearances for Wales. Between 2001 and 2011, he was capped an impressive 76 times by his country. At the time of his retirement, this made him the most capped scrum-half in the history of the Welsh national rugby team. Sadly though, this record was overtaken by Mike Phillips in 2013.
