Meg Jones shines as relentless England sweep Wales aside to seal triple crown
There is an alternate universe in which Meg Jones played the Six Nations game between England and Wales in a red shirt instead of a white one. The Red Roses captain was born in Cardiff and can speak fluent Welsh, but she chose to play for England, being qualified through her mother. That decision is surely one of the most important to England’s current form with Jones an integral and irreplaceable cog in the machine.
