Iorworth Alan Rhys Gill (born 30 October 1986)[1] is a Wales international rugby union player. A prop forward he joined Saracens in May 2009 having previously played for Cardiff Blues.
A former member of the Cardiff Blues Academy, Gill represented Wales at Under-16 and Under-18 levels before signing with Cardiff RFC as an 18-year-old. He made his Cardiff debut in 2005 and went on to become a member of the Wales Under-21 squad that season. He finished his first season for the club with 18 appearances and made his Magners League bow with the Cardiff Blues as a substitute against Munster at Thomond Park in May 2006. The loose-head was signed by English Premiership side Saracens in 2009, having been scouted by the club's assistant coach Cobus Visagie as a powerful set-piece performer.
On 18 January 2010 Gill was named in the 35 man Wales national Squad for the 2010 Six Nations tournament.[2] Gill made his debut for the Wales national rugby union team against Ireland on 13 March 2010 as a second-half replacement.
After helping Saracens to a maiden Premiership title in 2011, playing as a replacement in the final,[3] Gill was handed another chance in a Wales jersey – against Ireland in the opening game of the 2012 Six Nations.
