Description

‘A true warrior. He demands excellence from himself and others around him. He has had success and disappointment, joy and sadness. People think they know him, but unless you read this book you will never know the real Alun Wyn Jones.’ — Warren Gatland, Match Day. From closing a hotel room door to the team room, and into a hotel lobby full of supporters in red shirts, this is where the story of Alun Wyn Jones’s journey begins—the story every child who dreams of playing rugby for their country starts with. From the nerves before a game to the look on his teammates’ faces, the adrenaline that flows within. Belonging traces how the boy from Mumbles rose to become one of Welsh rugby’s most celebrated players and what it takes to be seen by many as one of the game’s greatest Welsh figures. What it takes to go from sitting cross-legged on the hall floor at school to being named the 2021 Lions Captain. But it is also about belonging—playing for Wales, working through age grades and club matches, and the sacrifices along the way. Feeling the bond to the great players who have gone before, and feeling the ties to millions of fans in living rooms, pubs, and on hills and coastlines across the country. Deep down, we all want to belong. From the rain-swept pitches of Swansea to his test debut against Argentina in 2006, from touring with the Lions in 2009, 2013, 2017 and 2021 to losing a parent and building a family, Belonging is the autobiography of one of the most compelling figures in world rugby. Told with unflinching honesty, this is the story of what it takes and what it means to belong.
