Wales and British and Irish Lions legend Alun Wyn Jones has been linked with a shock move across the bridge with a trio of West Country giants reportedly interested in adding his services.
WalesOnline report Bath, Bristol Bears, and Gloucester are all potentially open to exploring signing the record-breaking 170-cap international lock ahead of the 2023/24 season despite the former Wales captain being 37-years-old. Age is certainly not necessarily a barrier with former Bristol star Simon Shaw playing until 39 and former All Black legend Brad Thorn hanging up his boots at 41 - locks both.
Last month the second row announced his international retirement meaning any potential future club would not have to worry about losing Jones to Wales duty during the World Cup and beyond, making his signature a more attractive prospect.
