Former Ospreys captain and ex-Wales national rugby union team international Jonathan Thomas has been disqualified from driving after admitting to being nearly twice the legal alcohol limit on Christmas Day.
Magistrates at Haverfordwest heard that the 43-year-old was stopped by police while driving his Mercedes CLA 220 through Pembroke town centre on 25 December 2025.
A roadside breath test recorded 62 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath — significantly above the legal limit of 35 micrograms.
Thomas, who has no previous convictions, entered a guilty plea.
He was banned from driving for 18 months. The disqualification may be reduced if he completes a drink-drive rehabilitation course.
In addition, he was fined £120, ordered to pay £85 in prosecution costs and a £48 victim surcharge.
The case serves as a reminder that the drink-driving limit applies at all times of year — including festive periods — and that even well-known public figures are not exempt from its consequences.
