Full Description
The inspiring story of how a boy from Mumbles became the most capped rugby union player of all time.
Belonging is the autobiography of one of the most compelling figures in world rugby, Alun Wyn Jones. It's the story of what it takes to become a man seen by many as one of the greatest Welsh players ever, from sitting cross-legged on the school hall floor watching the 1997 Lions tour of South Africa to being named the 2021 Lions captain.
But it's also about perthyn - belonging: playing for Wales, working through the age grades, club rugby, and his regional side, the Ospreys. It's about earning the right to be there, the sacrifices made along the way, and the connection to players past and the millions of supporters across the country.
Told with characteristic honesty, Jones shares his journey from the rain-swept pitches of Swansea to his test debut in Patagonia in 2006, from touring with the Lions to dealing with loss and creating a family. Belonging is a unique personal story of what it takes and what it means to play for your country: what it means to belong.
