Q&A with Adam Jones
First topic message reminder :
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!
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.
- 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!

Re: Q&A with Adam Jones
How much stick did you give Gethin after his showboat try at RWC? Is it true you taught him everything he knows?

Re: Q&A with Adam Jones
Do you believe the notion that Props don't mature into the role until the latter part of their career and if so why is this, or does it really take years of playing to master 'the dark art'?

Do you feel power and size are in danger of overpowering good old fashioned technique in the modern front rower?

Re: Q&A with Adam Jones
As an experienced prop how do you think the Saints front row get away with 'boring in' and Hartley popping up in nearly every single game ?

I will send them to him over the weekend - so tomorrow is the last day for any further Q's
Re: Q&A with Adam Jones
What are your views on rule changes to make scrummages comeptitive, fair and safe again. Is their an easy fix?
Do players dislike the "crouch touch ....paaaauuuusssseeee...engage " as much as the fans/pundits?
Have you ever tossed a dwarf?
Do you know the words of the national anthem?
Do you think the regional set up in Wales has helped enable the top players to stay at home but still play at the highest club level, and just how much has concentrating resources in a few teams helped the ressurection of Welsh rugby on the world stage?
Pity the regions cant even get close to a HC though isnt it?
Robbocop league...do the players really go at full intensity all the time, or do you find HC and International rugby a real step up in gears?
Have you ever wrestled a bear? If so who won, if not who would win? How about a shark? How about George North?

How would you feel if you were strapped to a dentist's chair and a bright light glaring into your eyes with Glas a du firing questions at you?
