  • Ryan Paul Jones is a rugby union rugby player who plays at number eight for the Ospreys and Wales. Jones played junior football for Bristol City as a goalkeeper until the age of 14. He took up rugby union at age 17 to be with his friends at Risca RFC. He also played a couple of rugby league matches for South London Storm. In 2004, when the Celtic Warriors were disbanded he was offered a contract with the Ospreys, who went on to win the Celtic League in 2004-05. He made his international debut for Wales against South Africa in November 2004. He featured in Wales' 2005 Grand Slam-winning side. Many supporters were surprised when he was not initially selected for the 44-man squad for the Lions tour of New Zealand. He was later called up to cover for the injured Simon Taylor. After his performance in the 30-19 win over Otago he was selected for the squad for the first test. He came on as a replacement and went on to start in the final two tests. In January 2008, Jones was appointed captain of Wales by new coach Warren Gatland. In his first Six Nations tournament as captain, he led his team to a second Grand Slam in four years. In April 2009, Jones was omitted from the 2009 British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa. He was subsequently called up to join the squad on 9 June after Stephen Ferris pulled out with a knee injury, however within days of arriving in South Africa he was declared unfit by the Lions medical team due to head injuries he had sustained in a previous Wales test match. His father, Steven Jones, was a police officer in the Gwent Constabulary, based in Cwmbran. On July 11, 2009, he married his long time girlfriend Ailsa, a physiotherapist at Swansea City A.F.C.
  • Ryan Paul Jones ist ein walisischer Rugby-Union-Spieler, der als Flügelstürmer oder Nummer Acht eingesetzt wird. Er ist Kapitän der walisischen Nationalmannschaft und für die Ospreys aktiv. Jones begann erst mit 17 mit dem Rugby, zuvor war er als Torwart im Fußball aktiv. Seine erste Profisaison verbrachte er bei den Celtic Warriors, die sich nach dieser Spielzeit jedoch auflösten. Darauf hin wechselte er zu den Ospreys mit denen er in seiner ersten Saison gleich den Titel in der Celtic League gewinnen konnte. In derselben Spielzeit absolvierte Jones sein erstes Länderspiel für Wales gegen Südafrika. Er war Teil der Auswahlmannschaft, die 2005 den Grand Slam bei den Six Nations holen konnte. Diesen Erfolg konnten die Waliser, mit Jones als Kapitän, 2008 wiederholen. Aufgrund dieser Leistung wurde er zum Spieler des Jahres vom International Rugby Board nominiert. Sein Mannschaftskollege Shane Williams gewann die Wahl. 2005 war er Teil der Tour der British and Irish Lions. Er stieß jedoch erst zum Kader als sich Simon Taylor verletzte. Seine Nichtnominierung für die 2009er Tour der Lions nach Südafrika gilt als große Überraschung, da er als Kapitän der Waliser und der Ospreys in der Vergangenheit viele Erfolge feiern konnte. Seine Formschwankungen im Vorfeld der Nominierungen bewogen das Trainerteam jedoch dazu, ihn zunächst nicht in die Reihen der Lions aufzunehmen. Er rückte im Laufe der Tour dennoch in den Kader nachdem sich Stephen Ferris verletzt hatte. Nach nur einem Tag musste er wieder abreisen, da bei ihm eine Gehirnerschütterung festgestellt wurde.
