Speculation mounts over Alun Wyn Jones' future

 

 

If he were to leave Wales, Jones would still be eligible to represent Wales as he fulfils the 60-cap threshold required.

 

 

With outgoing Wales coach With Warren Gatland set to coach the British and Irish Lions on the tour to South Africa in 2021, Jones is seen as a favourite to lead the side.

 

 

 

 

A number of clubs across Europe have been linked to snap up the veteran's services with the likes of Harlequins and Leicester Tigers suggested as possible destinations while a lucarative deal in France could be more favourable for Jones.

 

 

 

Another possibility could be a big-money move to Japan which could extend Jones' career. 

 

 

Lots of speculation surrounding Alun-Wyn Jones post RWC.

He's 33.

I'd take a massive payday in France or England

Three year deal, til 36.

600k a year.

There'll be at least 10 clubs willing to pay that.

@Harlequins please please please sign Alun Wyn Jones, I am convinced we will win the prem within 2 years if we sign

Alun Wyn Jones to @LeicesterTigers. Now how good would that be.

Be better off going to a team that can win things. He’d be the missing piece for Bath or Wasps.

Head over to France in the sun and pick up some decent 💰

While a large part of rugby public think that Jones should cash in on a deal abroad, former Osprey and Welsh speedster Shane Williams thinks the second rower should stay at Ospreys.

 

 

"Sort this guy's contract out"

Shane Williams says it's about time the Ospreys and WRU sort out the future of Alun Wyn Jones
