Q&A with Adam Jones
Thats right folks, Adam Jones, the Wales prop, has agreed to answer your questions.
Its been a few months since our last one, so lets make the questions even better than usual.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Adam for agreeing to answer our questions - he had just landed in Italy ahead of this weekends game when he emailed me - top bloke!
So lets hear your questions below!
Its been a few months since our last one, so lets make the questions even better than usual.
- Spoiler:
Adam Jones has won caps at Wales U21 level and reached the semi-finals of the IRB U21 World Championship tournament in 2002. He made his senior debut against England in 2003 and has one international try to his name, against Scotland in 2004.
A constant member of Wales's 2005 Grand Slam winning team, Jones was one of the senior members of the Argentina tour in 2006. This followed on from consistent displays for Wales throughout the 2006 RBS Six Nations.
Jones started his domestic career at Neath where he was a try-scorer in the Celtic League Cup Final against Munster in 2003. Jones is now an Ospreys regular, having made 75 appearances for his club at the end of the 2006–2007 season.
After receiving a call-up to Gareth Jenkins's national squad for the 2006 Invesco Perpetual Series Jones played in all four matches, starting against Australia, Canada and New Zealand and coming off the bench in the match against the Pacific Islands. RBS Six Nations performances in 2007 against Scotland, Italy and England were followed by an inclusion in Wales's squad ahead of the two-Test tour of Australia in May the same year.
Jones featured in the first Test loss in Sydney but was to play no part in the second Test after suffering a calf injury in training. In June he was named in Gareth Jenkins's 41-man preliminary Rugby World Cup 2007 summer training squad and made the final cut of 30 in August, and also played in the Invesco Perpetual Summer Series clash with Argentina at the Millennium Stadium.
Jones made two appearances for Wales at the Rugby World Cup, making the starting line-up for the Pool B opener against Canada in Nantes and also playing against Australia at the Millennium Stadium.
January 2008 saw Jones named in Warren Gatland's RBS Six Nations squad. He featured in four matches of the Grand Slam winning campaign, against England, Scotland, Ireland and France.
Jones was among a number of Welsh players who played starring roles in the 2009 British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa before sustaining a dislocated shoulder in the second Test in Pretoria. He committed his long term future to the Ospreys in October 2009 when he signed a deal which will keep him at the Liberty Stadium until 2012.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Adam for agreeing to answer our questions - he had just landed in Italy ahead of this weekends game when he emailed me - top bloke!
So lets hear your questions below!

Does he think he has another Lions tour in him ? Would love to see him tear into the Wallabies.

Who do you see in the youth set up coming through as a potential replacement for you and would you consider coaching when you retire?

Re: Q&A with Adam Jones
What are your opinions regarding scrummaging? Are you happy with the current state of play or do you think something needs to be done to avoid the endless re-setting of scrums?

If you cut your hair off would it have the Samson effect and you'd lose your scrummaging powers?

Re: Q&A with Adam Jones
Justice_4_Bakkies where you surprised he got a ban for clearing you out of the ruck?
If Bath came knocking on your door would you be tempted to link up with Geech again?
Also I congratulate you on the fact that you obviously like your food & beer (like most props) and yet still manage to ply your trade at the top of the game.

Re: Q&A with Adam Jones
Do you ever get tired of being a professional rugby player?
If you hadn't gone into rugby, what profession would you have chosen?
Apart from Wales and the Ospreys, are there any other teams you support?
What shoe size are you?

Re: Q&A with Adam Jones
No way it's only Clarks in Cardiff - in most of Wales there are mass produced Peter's pies and in Carmarthenshire and around that area there's Jenkins bakers

Re: Q&A with Adam Jones
Are you serious? Whats the difference. I'm headed to Wales in few weeks to see Blues, Dragons and Scarlets play. I will be getting a pie
Re: Q&A with Adam Jones
The clarks pies are nice (lot better pastry than Greggs) but Jenkins are a family bakers and make the best pasties/pies in the land (and remember this is a land famous for it's pies - just look at Adam Jones )
Remember though you can't get Clarks pies outside of Cardiff (unless they sell them in the valleys)
You know it makes sense!

Re: Q&A with Adam Jones
I don't think I've ever had a Peter's or Jenkins pie. As for Claaaark's pies - Staggy you had one when we all went to the Heino buffet? I'm not that keen on them
