Lyn Jones says his appetite for rugby has been restored as he embarks on his new job as head coach of the Netherlands national team.
It’s the latest adventure in a much-travelled coaching career for the former Welsh international flanker. As well as domestic duties with Neath, Treorchy, the Ospreys and the Dragons, plus a stint in charge of London Welsh, he has also had spells working in Abu Dhabi and Namibia, while his last role saw him at the helm of Russia for three years. Now, at 58, he is flying out to Amsterdam today to begin his new challenge.
