Back in the lockdown summer of 2020, with all live sport cancelled, rugby fan Jonathan Lock had resigned himself to watching an old British and Irish Lions match to try and get his fix of his beloved sport. His son Rocco, then aged four, was watching along with him and, as always, had plenty of questions about the game and the players.
In particular, his eye was caught by the tape Alun Wyn Jones was wearing on his ears.
“He asked me why he was wearing the tape,” Jonathan, from Mountain Ash, tells WalesOnline. “I explained it to him and then thought it would be fun to tape his ears up too. So that’s what we did and then we were just playing around out the front with him looking like Alun Wyn. He was running around with a ball pretending to be him.”
