[QUOTE="Not Eddie Jones, post: 957966, member: 81025"] :confused: I honestly don't get the Alun Wyn Jones hype. He makes a lot of tackles, wins his own lineouts and... that's pretty much it. He rarely carries and when he does, he doesn't get his team across the gainline, he doesn't jackal turnovers at the breakdown, he rarely steals opposition lineouts, he doesn't make big hits in the tackle that drive the opposition backwards. And yet most of the other players on your list do all of those things, as well as the two things Jones does. So why is Jones rated number 1? I'm not saying he's not a good player, I just don't think he's an outstanding player? What does he do that makes him outstanding? Have I been missing it all these years? :confused: [/QUOTE]
