Alun Wyn Jones Quotes

A bugbear of mine is bragging rights in regional derbies: it would be a lot more worth to the regional game if we did something special in European rugby.
A draw is the lesser of two evils. A loss or a draw, then obviously we are going to take the draw.
Apparently, I'm the angriest man. I don't know. It's just an interpretation. If it was someone else, they might be called focused or competitive. I'm not that angry or grumpy, but if you want to say I'm angry because I'm focused or competitive, then that's okay.
As I grow older, I like to think I'm getting a little bit more mature.
As individuals, we don't sometimes let ourselves enjoy things that we possibly should because of ways you want to be perceived, which is a silly thing as well.
As you get older, you realise you can't worry about mistakes; you just worry about playing, and I've been doing that.
Before I was 'the captain' with the label - because essentially, that's all it is - I was a player, and before that, I was a fan of the game, fan of the team.
Every cap is my first, and every one is my last... that's the way I look at it.
For me, representing Wales really was a dream.
From a personal point of view, I wouldn't have been happy with one cap but would always have been happy with two. I never counted on getting to 80.
Going out there as a forward can shorten your career somewhat, whereas if you go out as a back, you will be OK.
Happiness is dangerous. If you're happy, you're content, and if you're content, you can become complacent.
I always want to be first.
I am a big believer that change is good.
I am always optimistic.
I am competitive because it is fun, a mentality thing, and it is something you have to be in this job.
I am paid to play, and the coaches are paid to plan, and that is what they have to do.
I am proud of being a bad loser. Bad losers are winners. That is the way it should be.
I did GCSE's and A-levels. I did my finals after the Lions tour in 2009 to get my law degree. So I've always had an eye on life beyond playing, irrelevant of the period in my career.
I do not know if I will stay in the game when I do retire; I have got humanity, so I do not know if I will go into law.
