But is it also about perthyn - belonging: playing for Wales, working his way through the age grades and club rugby and his regional side.

People think they know him but unless you read this book you will never know the REAL Alun Wyn Jones. He’s made 23 consecutive starts against England yet there is no rabid satisfaction in beating the auld enemy, he doesn’t get swept up in any racist nonsense. This (ghost written) book goes some of the way to peeking behind the curtain to look at the man behind the myth.Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page.
