Alun Wyn Jones (born 19 September 1985) is a Welsh and British & Irish Lions international rugby union player, currently playing for the Ospreys in the Pro 12. He is Wales most capped lock forward and Wales second most capped player behind Gethin Jenkins.
Having previously represented Wales at under-21 level, he made his Test debut for Wales in June 2006 against Argentina. Originally playing as a blindside flanker, he became a second row. It was as a lock that he featured, and excelled, in Wales' 2007 Six Nations campaign. He was a member of the Wales side that completed the Grand Slam in the 2008 Six Nations Championship.
On 5 March 2009 it was announced that Jones would captain the Welsh international squad against Italy in the Six Nations Championship.
In 2009 Jones was one of 13 Welsh players selected in the squad for the 2009 British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa. He scored a try in his debut for the Lions against the Royal XV. He started the First Test and came on as a replacement in the Second and Third Tests.
On 18 January 2010, he was named in the 35 man Wales national Squad for the 2010 Six Nations tournament. During the first 2010 Six Nations game against England, Jones intentionally tripped English player Dylan Hartley, for which he was sent to the sin-bin. During his 10 minutes there, England scored 17 points and went on to victory.
Jones studied part-time for a degree in law at Swansea University, graduating on 21 July 2010.
On 23 August 2010, the Ospreys announced that Jones would succeed Welsh team-mate Ryan Jones as club captain for the 2010/11 season. The decision was made, in part, so Ryan Jones could concentrate on the national captaincy during a busy World Cup year.
