🎉 Exciting news in the rugby world! Duncan Jones, affectionately known as one of the original ‘Hair Bears’, is joining Steve Tandy’s coaching squad for Wales’ upcoming Test matches. 🚀
Duncan, who has spent nearly ten years refining the Ospreys’ scrum, is stepping into the spotlight to coach the Welsh scrum during their challenges against Argentina, Japan, New Zealand, and South Africa. 🏉 His pairing with Adam Jones back in their Ospreys and Wales days brought a legacy of tough, frizzy-haired front-row strength, and now he’s set to make waves as a coach.
While Duncan might not be as widely known as his former team-mate Adam in the coaching world (thanks to Adam’s current high profile with Harlequins and the Lions), those who know rugby know Duncan’s expertise is no less formidable. His technical knowledge of the game and his passion for the scrum make him a top pick for mentoring the Wales team. 💪🔥
Mark Jones, head coach at Ospreys, praises Duncan’s contribution to developing talented players like Dewi Lake and Gareth Thomas. 🤩 Duncan’s coaching isn’t just about tactics; it’s about fostering a mindset that makes players want to be their best.
This gig is a golden opportunity for Duncan to coach on an international level, and we’re thrilled to see what he’ll bring back to the local scene from this experience. 🌍🏆
Here’s to Duncan’s journey and the new heights he’s aiming for in international coaching! 🌟👏
Stay tuned for more updates on upcoming games and watch this space as our very own takes his knowledge to the world stage! #WelshRugby #TheHairBearReborn
