AS Warren Gatland said last week, why would Alun Wyn Jones jeapordise the fact that he plays 21 games a season in Wales to all of a sudden going to play maybe 15 more in England or France?
As much as Bristol or big-spending teams in the Top 14 may be able to offer him more money, how much is enough? Jones is very well looked after in Wales and it seems his priority would be to continue playing for Wales for as long as possible.
And by staying in Wales he will have more chance of remaining fit to represent and maybe lead the Lions in 2021 with a smaller workload.
