There is an interview somewhere- maybe linked on here- where he basically said what you infer. He always wanted to play for Wales, and only went to Aus when he felt he wasn't going to get time with Wales. He probably won't ever say it in so few words, especially now, but that's what the interview was covering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zico Posted January 28 Moderators Share Posted January 28 Interesting to note, what with him being Australian, is that Jones actually did get called up the full Welsh squad under Chris Coleman Trained with them and everything preparing for a world cup qualifier against Serbia Was on the plane with rest of the Welsh squad, actually travelled to Serbia to represent Wales Didn't make it on the pitch though If he had, all this nonsense could've been avoided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Tony Cascarino Irish based on the same logic. To be honest it’s a futile argument but I find it odd you can change nationalities when it suits. That said Cheese is also right in that he was born there so can clearly play for them. The residency rule makes a mock of it all anyway. Verdict. You’re both correct😂 Edited January 29 by tomski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re both correct😂 Jones' eligibility isn't at question in fairness. It's simply how he sees himself, and his previous comments suggest that that is Welsh. Can't blame the lad in the end though- he had an opportunity that he wasn't likely to get otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
