Should Alun-Wyn Jones be dropped?

Question

Jones was sin-binned against England in Wales’ Six Nations opener last weekend. Should he be dropped?

Answer 1

No way should Alun Wyn Jones be dropped, he was not solely responsible for the loss. Also the coaching team made bad decisions by not including Ian Gough in the team, and why have James Hook kicking when Leigh Halfpenny is well known for his accurate long distance kicking. There were errors right across the board, so no, A.W Jones should not be blamed for the loss of this game.

Answer 2

Wales coach Warren Gatland was frustrated that Jones was sin-binned in the 30-17 defeat against England, but he can’t blame the loss on the Ospreys’ lock. He should not be dropped – Gatland would only be making the job in hand harder for himself.
