“It’s easy to sit there and say, 'oh well. if it was the exact same in Wales, who would you play for?' Obviously, I was in Wales. So, I would’ve played for Wales.”
It’s important, here, not to misinterpret Meg Jones. There is no regret in the England fly-half’s voice at her selected rugby allegiance. That much is clear as she sits under a palm tree mirthfully sipping a morning coffee as the Australian sunshine filters through the fronds.
Besides, regret isn’t really a sentiment the 26-year-old abides by, in any walk of life. By Jones' own admission, her descriptor is confrontational, albeit positively. She is 5ft 4ins tall. She punches well above her weight. At fly-half, her love of physicality is somewhat atypical for a position whose occupier often prefers to avoid contact.
