stephen jones is the best fly half wales ever had,you cant really compare him with the likes of benny,the game is so much tighter defensively that benny and barry john would not be able to make as many brakes as in their day stephen is far bigger stronger and fitter than them which todays game demands.his game awareness is second to none, goal kicking very good, and got him on all the top 7 lists in rugby,place kicking top draw,and runs the game like no other player can be it for scarlets or wales.james hook is not in the same class as jones and has no idea how to run the game even with the talens hook posesses will never make a fly half in jones’s class.stephen jones is top two in the world, on his best day is the best in world,all southern hemisphere coaches say he’s the best in northen rugby and he is a true welsh rugby ledgend and hero.the day he retires from international rugby will be the biggest loss the welsh team suffer for many years long may he continue.

Who cares.. when he is seriously cute and its a wonderful when he bends over in tight shorts… oh and yes he is a good player because he leads by example and gets the best out of his team mates.
Captains come in different guises, some shout, some sulk and some cajoel but a few great ones lead from the and dont expect their team to do anything they wouldnt do. they treat everyone the same and give everyone an opportunity and look to create better play each and every match. and he is sooooooooooo cute.

Ant – I strongly suspect you have the wrong Stepehn Jones. Whilst both are Welsh it seems you have gone for the useless, wannabe English, Souther hemisphere hating journalist. This is the mildly spoken, truly nice current Welsh outside half.

IN response to SA having poor a front row..

“lol, What do you expect from a welsh man. Jones is like the Paris Hilton of sports journalism, dont have the talent to actually write, so he scribbles a load of crap on paper to sell more papers. Poor bloke is still sulking after the lions tour, where they lost against the harmless elephants… If it was a front row man doing the writing, then maybe it would have actually meant something”

[...] shows a problem. The backline hasn’t clicked… and the reason for this is the midfield. Stephen Jones, Jamie Roberts and Tom Shanklin are top class players all, but they don’t amount to much [...]

Hopefully after the Lions tour, everyone’s nice and silenced, I don’t believe people can focus on 1 kick, maybe you only watch 1 or 2 six nations matches a year? and that’s the extent of rugby to you ? Probably, other wise you’d know that not only should Stephen Jones be considered a great Welsh flyhalf, he is obviously the best flyhalf in the northern hemisphere and quite possibly world at the moment and I hate to break it to cymruangel if you’re an International player and first choice Lions first half capable of outperforming 15 South Africans 3 weeks in a row, I think a lot of the world disagrees with you whether he’s world class or not, because his performances at the highest level, is pretty much the definition of the phrase.

Aww, this is just really good. He made me fall in love with Rugby and yes, I support Wales.
I think that he should be regarded as a Rugby Legand, or at least be mentioned somewhere in Rugby History because he is an insiration!!!!!!!
P.S
i)He is a 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000…* player!

So we are using English?

Anyway, Stephen is fantastic…. A true Welsh hero. Nuf said.

And what about the appearences on ‘Y clwb rugbi’ where he is to be found teaching rugby skills to children? A spokesman for the game and the language!!!

Get off your high horses. The this wouldn’t be such a hot topic if it wasn’t so true.

And if I here another thing about the Ireland kick I will scream. Could you make that kick at half distance under the weight of the nation? i think not.

Jones has been the top European fly half for the last few years. Does not that make him world class? We simply cannot compare modern players with our 70s legends anymore. Benny and John would have adapted to modern defences but breaks would have been rarer at international level. Jones is one of the best organisers that we have had in that position. aI agree with all of the above (Jenkins, Benny, John but no Jonathan Davies?)but his role in two grand slams were paramount. Give the guy his credit and appreciate that in place of Stuart Barnes’s ‘stardust’ is a world class general.
