Pleased to see that Alan Jones has been recognised for his one appearance for England which, incidentally, came against a team called Rest of the World which could easily have been renamed Best of the World because, apart from one or two of the England side perhaps, it genuinely was a team made up of the best around at that time.
I've never quite understood why Alan Jones' on/off England career such as it was has been such a cause for debate and, given that I think I'm right in saying that he was considered a test player for some time before they took that status away from him, I wouldn't take it for granted that it won't change again.
