Jones must prove he’s worth the weight

HE’S known in Welsh rugby circles as the Hair Bear and the 30-minute man, but Adam Jones’s bulk could cost him his place in the Wales World Cup squad.

Warren Gatland has issued a warning to the prop forward, insisting that if he doesn’t improve his fitness, he won’t travel to New Zealand.

“Hopefully Adam has been training and his weight is okay and we’ll be able to keep him in the squad,” Gatland said. “He knows if he turns up and he’s overweight, I’ll turn around and send him home.”
