The Prize

Wales jersey signed by Head Coach, Wayne Pivac and Captain, Alun Wyn Jones.

This year has proved a famous one for Wales as they stormed to Six Nations glory. It was also another fantastic achievement for Alun Wyn Jones.

This jersey is a must-have for Jones' fans - Alun Wyn has featured in 10 successive Lions Tests with his greatest hour coming in 2013 when he captained the Lions in the decisive third Test win to seal a first Series win in 16 years. Four years later he started all three Tests once again in the 1-1 Series draw in New Zealand to complete the set of Lions opponents. Since 2017, Jones has succeeded Warburton as Wales skipper, leading them to the Grand Slam in 2019, a World Cup semi-final later that year and another Six Nations title in 2021. He then succeeded Warburton leading the Lions in 2021.

With 157 caps to his name, 148 for Wales and 10 for the Lions, Jones is the most capped player in the history of international rugby. Since making his debut in 2006, he has won three Grand Slams, a further two Six Nations titles, and is now on his fourth Lions Tour, once again as Captain.

Pivac's first game in charge for Wales was a non-international match against the Barbarians in 2019, which Wales won 43–33. In 2020, in his first Six Nations match as head coach, Wales beat Italy 42–0 and finished the Championship in 5th place. In 2021, Pivac won his first silverware for Wales, beating Scotland 24-25 in Round 2 of the Six Nations Championship. The following round Wales got their highest ever points total vs England, beating them 40-24 and winning the Triple Crown. Wales were crowned champions of the Six Nations after winning 4 out of their 5 matches.
