It has been a breakthrough season for Coghlan who was named in Wales’ autumn squad and won his first cap as a replacement in the 73-0 defeat against South Africa in November 2025.<\/p>\n
The former Wales U19 international was left out of the Six Nations squad but wants a Test return.<\/p>\n
“It was incredible,” said Coghlan.<\/p>\n
“When I did get my chance to get my cap, it was a special feeling, hard to explain, a lot of emotions and just felt incredibly proud.<\/p>\n
“Growing up it’s your dream goal and that feeling is something now I want to keep chasing.<\/p>\n
“I want to do everything I can to get back in there and represent my country, so hopefully I can get more caps in the future.”<\/p>\n
Coghlan is being inspired by Dragons and Wales hooker Elliot Dee, who he is currently keeping out of the starting side.<\/p>\n
“Elliot’s a legend and so supportive of me,” said Coghlan.<\/p>\n
“He’s given me lots of tips over the last few years.<\/p>\n
“He’s really competitive as well, so it’s what drives me to train harder. I want to try to push myself to do what he’s done. <\/p>\n
“The amount of caps he’s had for Wales, the games he’s had for the Dragons, to have him in the group and to learn so much off him is class.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
