Powell's Lions call makes Ryan Jones snub harder to fathom
Former Wales international Barry John questions the omission of current captain Ryan Jones from the Lions squad - read his thoughts in the Wales on Sunday.
"I can still remember the contribution and his leadership skills for Wales when we should have beaten South Africa in the second Test on last summer’s tour. Ryan, for me, showed what a world-class player he is on that occasion and that is what the Lions will miss this summer. I certainly thought the knowledge that he has led Wales to a Grand Slam would have swung selection for him.What will make it worse for Ryan is that his omission probably came at the inclusion of his Wales team-mate, Andy Powell."
