It takes either an extremely brave or extremely stupid person to challenge Alun Wyn Jones on the rugby field, and Kyle Sinckler may well fall into the latter category.
By his own admission, that is, having described himself as "a tit" for scrapping with the Wales icon during a 2019 Six Nations clash. Sinckler was a year or so into his tenure as England 's tighthead prop of choice when he picked his British and Irish Lions captain as an unenviable target.
It was one entry in a list of missteps the Bristol Bear made at the Principality Stadium that day, which Sinckler has referred to as "one of the worst" in his career. Warren Gatland, who was Wales coach at the time, had spent some of his build-up referring to Eddie Jones ' front-row star as "a bit of a time bomb."
