Jones enjoying ‘healthy rivalry’

STEPHEN JONES and Ronan O’Gara are used to going hammer and tongs at each other and this British & Irish Lions tour is no different.

Or is it? Because as well as being rivals for the No 10 jersey in the Test series, they are once again team mates with a common cause.

The fact Ian McGeechan felt he didn’t need to bring a specialist goalkicking coach with him to South Africa speaks volumes for the trust he puts in his two outside halves. And well he might.
