Wales on an emotional rollercoaster, admits Jones

RYAN JONES readily admits Wales have been on an emotional rollercoaster during this season’s Six Nations Championship.

It all started with the Ospreys’ 16th player saga that saw Wales full-back Lee Byrne banned, and then cleared, just days before a Twickenham opener against England.

Alun-Wyn Jones’ damaging sin-binning at Twickenham quickly followed – Wales conceded 17 points in his absence – prior to a stunning injury-time victory over Scotland, before Andy Powell’s so-called ‘Buggygate’ misdemeanour hogged the headlines.
