Claire Thomas is a presenter, reporter, commentator and one of the most exciting emerging talents in sport.
As a regular for TNT Sports - she reports and commentates across their rugby output - and has established herself as Premiership Women’s Rugby’s lead voice: one of the space’s most respected experts, with invaluable rapports league-wide.
Claire also presents for Premier Sports - central to their Investec Champions Cup coverage - and anchored the EPCR Challenge Cup final in 2025 from The Principality Stadium.
She’s familiar to viewers of ITV’s rugby coverage, having contributed across their last two World Cups and three Six Nations - and is often tasked with getting the very best out of the sport’s biggest names as their pitch-side reporter.
In 2025, Claire could be heard commentating on both 5Live and BBC TV throughout the Women’s World Cup - whilst appearing as a features reporter across their programming.
Radio is one of Claire’s greatest passions, and she’s been a key component of the BBC’s netball, tennis, and rugby coverage.
Sports-mad, Claire has covered Olympic handball and rugby 7s for Eurosport, wheelchair rugby at the Paralympics for Channel 4, darts for ITV, and everything from ping pong to angling and back again via netball for Sky Sports.
A highly-regarded written journalist, she regularly contributes long-form pieces for RugbyPass - telling stories and platforming the game's great personalities.
She relishes live and team environments, and - combining a skilled and warm approach - she has thrived as an event host: working for various hospitality groups and organisations, and is a popular fireside chat host for brand and corporate clients.
