[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 343333, member: 20605"] That may have been so to begin with but towards the end of his All Blacks career Jones was almost exclusively at blindside. Jones played 74 matches for the All Blacks; 52 at openside flanker 18 at blindside flanker 4 at No. 8 However, of his 18 matches on the blindside, 16 were the last 17 of his career, because the No. 7 jersey was firmly under the ownership of one Joshua Kronfeld, the best openside flanker of his time. Jones was once asked how he reconciled his hard, uncompromising tackling with his gentle Christian beliefs His answer was a quote from the Bible ([I]Acts Ch20 v35[/I]) "....It is more blessed to give than to receive."
